Computing Services developed a system named DartPulse as a
way to more effectively communicate with members of the Dartmouth community
information regarding planned and unplanned outages of computing resources.
This includes central systems and services, network infrastructure, telephones,
and DarTV. System administrators, network engineers, and database
administrators post information to the DartPulse system if they are planning to
take a system or service down at a particular time, or if a system goes down
unexpectedly. Members of the Dartmouth community can use DartPulse to see if
the reason they are having a problem is due to an outage of the system or
service they are trying to use.
In addition, members of the Dartmouth community can use DartPulse to
automatically receive outage notifications when a particular system or service
goes down. When information is posted to DartPulse regarding an outage, all
subscribed users to that system or service outage notification will
automatically receive an e-mail alerting them to the outage.
