Start Date (Inclusive): [May______] 1_ 2005 End Date (Inclusive): [May______] 16 2005 Report time Period: [None___________] Assume Initial States: [Yes] Assume State Retention: [Yes] Assume States During Program Downtime: [Yes] Include Soft States: [No_] First Assumed Service State: [Unspecified_____] ktracked Archives (To Scan For Initial States): 1_ Create Availability Report! ) The new field is 'Report Period' and allows the selection of one of the configured timeperiods (24x7, none, workhours etc). </pre> </blockquote> I think its the field I added, if so it calculates the avaliblility based on the selected timeperiod. The main reson for adding this is that OUR SLA only covers officehours but we still want to monitor 24x7. <blockquote cite="mid20050516043645.GC61410@ws11114.aipo.gov.au" type="cite"> <pre wrap=""> What does this 'Report Period' field do ? </pre> </blockquote> Filters the collected data based on a timeperiod. <blockquote cite="mid20050516043645.GC61410@ws11114.aipo.gov.au" type="cite"> <pre wrap=""> Does it mean that availability is only computed for that time period ? (so that availability for the none time period is always 100% and availability for the 24x7 time period is always the sum of the down times/reporting interval * 100). In other words, that downtime falling outside the time period is ignored ? </pre> </blockquote> Yeap, thats the idea anyways... <blockquote cite="mid20050516043645.GC61410@ws11114.aipo.gov.au" type="cite"> <pre wrap=""> If so, this is a great adddition and makes reporting for SLAs feasable. </pre> </blockquote> Yeap, thats why I added it :) // Michael Medin <blockquote cite="mid20050516043645.GC61410@ws11114.aipo.gov.au" type="cite"> <pre wrap=""> Yours sincerely. </pre> <pre wrap=""> <hr size="4" width="90%"> -- This message contains privileged and confidential information only for use by the intended recipient.
