Could you please add the ability to include an additional availability report for Servers, Network, website, Ping and Web transaction that includes a reason for each recorded outage.
We would love to use 24x7 for our company availability reports that doesnt require further manipulation
The fields we would like included in the report are
Monitor Name
Start Time
End Time
Duration
Reason - this is currently generated by 24x7 e.g. Server shutdown or restart has been initiated on 26 October 2023, 15:11 BST.
Reason (free text) - Text that we can add that gets included in the new additional availability report
Note there is a Latest comment field that appears on outages only. This is a bit variable as sometimes displays blank text.
We would like the report to also include a section for outages observed due to maintenance. The Reason (free text) field would then allow us to include a comment regarding the maintenance e.g. Outage due to Server patching Change Reference xxxxxx
e.g.
| Unavailable From | Monitor | Service Restored | Duration | Reference | Reason (free text) | Outage type |
| 25/10/2023 09:38 | Website Server | 25/10/2023 09:43 | 00:05 | Ref CH12234 | Scheduled Server patching | Maintenance |
| 26/10/2023 12:13 | zoho portal | 27/10/2023 01:15 | 13:02 | Ref INC12345 | Outage caused by Azure cloud service outage | Full |
| 26/10/2023 00:00 | Network Switch NET1223 | 26/10/2023 01:15 |
01:15
|
Ref INC12346 | Power outage affecting the Computer labs within the Smith Building | Partial |
ideally we would like to be able just to generate a report (one click) that will generate a report similar to the above (Once comments have been manually added within the portal)
HI Sherron,
Thankyou for the detailed description for the feature. We provide the option to add comments for an outage due to maintenance. However, we are yet to support it to show in our availability reports. We will take this up as a feature request and keep you posted on the same.
Regards,
Jenzo
