Alert Handling

How do we define an alert

All of the following must apply:

  • We can consistently reproduce an unexpected behavior.
  • An issue is generating a number of responses from the UWF community.
  • An alert is posted either on this page, or our main Technology Alerts page.
  • Either ITS or the third-party vendors are aware of the issue.
  • Either ITS or the third-party vendors are actively working to resolve the issue.
  • Notices* will be posted if an outage is planned for high impact services.

* Other changes may occur during our posted maintenance windows that will not have a formal notice.

What to expect from an alert

ITS will make best efforts to provide the following for each alert:

  • What is expected to occur
  • What actually occurs
  • What are the workarounds for the issue (if there are any)
  • Which departments and third-party vendors are working to resolve the issue
  • When was the alert posted
  • When was the alert closed
