State Change Timeline report reveals the timeline of when a monitor on a device, or all monitors on all devices in a group, changed from one state to another during a selected time period.

Understand column data

The default view of each report contains a grid with the following columns:

  • Device. Device hostname, IP address, or custom label.

  • Monitor. Monitor that experienced the state change.
  • Start Time. Date and time of the state change.
  • State. State of the condition at the time of the poll. The thin gray bar on a state indicator color block means that the device state change has not been acknowledged.
  • Duration. Period the state remained unchanged.
  • Message. Result message returned to WhatsUp Gold at the time of the poll.
