Outage banner request

[Bharath Thummala]

Hello Folks,

I'm trying to implement the  Outage banner when JIRA goes down during the maintenance window.

Please suggest if have any ways to do it.

Regards,

I use a separate Tomcat instance to display our 'Maintenance' page, and start that up on the same port that Jira uses when we shutdown.

Thanks for your response, Pete!

We wanted to automate it – instead of manual stop and also is there a way that we can redirect to IIS or any other webserver if JIRA is down for notification purpose.

If you're using an Apache webserver I think you can redirect all 503 errors to your own maintenance page, have a look at this: https://www.shellhacks.com/redirect-site-maintenance-page-apache-htaccess/

Not sure how/if you can do the same with IIS.
