The Availability Summary report reveals device availability indicated by all applied active monitors. It is divided into three distinct sections: Group Information, Monitor Summary, and the main Availability Summary device grid. To access the Availability Summary, select Device > Availability Summary from the ANALYZE menu.

Group Information

The Group Information section of the report presents the following basic information about the selected device group:

  • Group Name. The device group for which the report displays activity data. You can change the group by clicking the group context at the top of the log to the right of the log title.
  • Group Description. A short description for the device group.
  • Number Of Devices. The number of monitored devices in the selected group.
  • Length of time reported over. The amount of time the information displayed represents.

Monitor Summary

The Monitor Summary section of the report presents a list of monitors as well as statistical data applicable to their status and availability for the selected date/time range. This includes the amount of time (expressed as a percentage) the specific monitor was Up, Down, or in Maintenance, the number of devices with a down monitor of thaty type, and an overall graphic representation of monitor availability.

Note: The number in parenthesis next to the monitor name depicts the total number of that type of monitor in the device group.

Device Grid

The device grid section of the report presents the following details about devices in the selected device group for the selected date/time range:

  • Device. The IP address or name of the individual monitored device.
  • Monitor. The monitor type or name assigned to the individual monitor on the device.
  • Up. The percentage of time the Active Monitor was up during the selected time period for all devices.
  • Maintenance. The percentage of time the Active Monitor was in maintenance during the selected time period for all devices.
  • Unknown. The percentage of time the status of the Active Monitor was not known during the selected time period for all devices.
  • Down. The percentage of time the Active Monitor was down during the selected time period for all devices.
  • Availability. The overall availability for the Active Monitor during the selected time period, by color.

Please note, when calculating percentages of uptime for a monitor, WhatsUp Gold rounds values to the nearest thousandth of one percent (three decimal places). If this rounded value is greater than 99.999 percent, the uptime is displayed as 100% with an asterisk notation to indicate the displayed value is slightly larger than the actual value. The precise downtime value is always visible in the Down time column for the monitor.
