About Our PBS Mobile and OTT Apps Status Page Integration

PBS Mobile and OTT Apps is a Smart Home solution that StatusGator has been monitoring since March 2021. Over the past about 3 years, we have collected data on on more than 315 outages that affected PBS Mobile and OTT Apps users. When PBS Mobile and OTT Apps publishes downtime on their status page, they do so across 77 components and 3 groups using 4 different statuses: up, warn, down, and maintenance which we use to provide granular uptime metrics and notifications.

More than 100 StatusGator users monitor PBS Mobile and OTT Apps to get notified when it's down, is under maintenance, or has an outage. This makes it one of the most popular smart home services monitored on our platform. We've sent more than 300 notifications to our users about PBS Mobile and OTT Apps incidents, providing transparency and peace of mind.

If PBS Mobile and OTT Apps is having system outages or experiencing other critical issues, red down notifications appear on the status page. In most cases, it means that core functions are not working properly, or there is some other serious customer-impacting event underway.

Warn notifications are used when PBS Mobile and OTT Apps is undergoing a non-critical issue like minor service issues, performance degradation, non-core bugs, capacity issues, or problems affecting a small number of users.

PBS Mobile and OTT Apps posts separate notifications for planned maintenance work. StatusGator will notify subscribers when PBS Mobile and OTT Apps enters a pre-planned maintenance window, keeping you up to date.

Since PBS Mobile and OTT Apps publishes a feed of proactive maintenance events on their status page, StatusGator will collect information about these events. Maintenance events for all your services can be viewed within StatusGator as a unified feed.

When PBS Mobile and OTT Apps posts issues on their status page, we collect the main headline message and include that brief information or overview in notifications to StatusGator subscribers.

When PBS Mobile and OTT Apps has outages or other service-impacting events on their status page, we pull down the detailed informational updates and include them in notifications. These messages often include the current details about how the problem is being mitigated, or when the next update will occur.

Because PBS Mobile and OTT Apps has several components, each with their individual statuses, StatusGator can differentiate the status of each component in our notifications to you. This means, you can filter your status page notifications based on the services, regions, or components you utilize. This is an essential feature for complex services with many components or services spread out across many regions.
