This report provides quick indications of why a service health indicator is green or red, when problems occurred, and for which components.

  • Location Incident Report - indicates how well a location has performed across all services over a specific time range. This report shows current trends in the location as well as performance over time. This is useful for a high-level view, such as for end-of-quarter reports.
