Hello all,
Does anyone know, do we need to change the "Isshutdown" column from false to true to get the site down page to trigger, if there is an outage?

If there is an outage it probably won't help much. The connections to the DB, API Server, app servers, and associated load balancers need to be up for this to work.
One workaround I have been contemplating has been to host a separate subdomain as a reverse proxy to TNEW, in the event of an outage we can control some of the messaging. The other upside would be the ability to create triggers on content loading (AWS Cloudfront/Lambda). Of course the downsides are it adds another layer and without using hosted payments or being on V7 (which is essentially hosted payments by TNEW) it wouldn't be PCI compliant. It also adds a possible security vector to TNEW but not much more than anyone else reverse proxy'ing our pages.
