Active Monitor Availability

Active Monitor Availability report provides a comprehensive set of states and measurements that account for the monitor's absolute availability or "uptime" for each active monitor associated with one or more devices. Active Monitor Availability report displays complete accounting information for each Active Monitor.

The sum of state categories for a given monitor reflect 100% of observed device activity over a given time interval. These reporting metrics reveal service level and uptime compliance at a glance.

When the report is filtered to present data for a specific device and active monitor, a chart representing monitor availability over time for the selected interval is also displayed.

Device. Device hostname, IP address, or alias.
Monitor. Active monitor name.
Up, Down, Maintenance, Unknown. Observed state categories for a given active monitor.
Start. The date and time the individual monitor entered the current state.

Note: Start date and time are only displayed when a single device is selected.

This active monitor state	Is measured as
Up	Fraction of uptime for the current date range.
Down	Fraction of downtime for the current date range.
Unknown	Fraction of time that no data was collected. For example, before monitoring began or during monitor off times not considered maintenance.
Maintenance	Fraction of time that device was placed into maintenance mode. When production servers are taken offline for diagnostics or performance testing, for example.

Availability. Monitor state color indicator. One of the following:

This indicator	Denotes
Green/blue	Up.
Red	Down.
Orange	Maintenance.
Gray	Unknown.
