Availability and Events reports
Hostgroups-Incidents-1
Description
This report provides an overview of host exception events and unavailability.
How to interpret the report
On the cover sheet, two pie charts show the number of hosts by host groups and host categories.
On the first page, the graphs show the evolution of exception events by day and by month. A radar graph provides the exception event distribution by host groups.
On the second page, the graph shows the maintainability and reliability of the host groups, as determined by an index based on MTRS and MTBF times.
Afterwards, a series of bar charts present information by host group, showing the evolution of exception events by host type. Finally, there is a comparison of the least maintainable and reliable host for each host group.

Hostgroups-Availability-1
Description
This report shows availability, exception-type events for hosts and services of multiple host groups. It also shows the evolution of the hosts for each host group, the evolution of availability and number of exception events for hosts and services.
How to interpret the report
On the first page, the report displays a graph of the host and service availability for hostgroups, exception-events distribution, evolution of the number of resources, and a cross table detailing the statistics for all the previous information.
On the following pages, evolution of the unavailability and exception events is detailed for each host group, sorted by host categories and service categories.
Finally, host and service statistics are displayed with the top-most unavailability and exception events.

Hostgroup-Availability-2
Description
This report displays information about availability and exception events for a host group.
How to interpret the report
On the first page, the evolution of availability and exception events is displayed for hosts and services. The evolution of host group resources is also shown.
On the second page, statistics are shown for detailed availability and exception events on a host according to category. A table lists the hosts that were least available and that created the largest number of exception events.
On the two last pages, detailed statistics for indicators on availability and exception events are shown. The information is organized by host and service category. The top 15 hosts are listed in terms of service unavailability and exception events.

Hostgroup-Service-Incident-Resolution-2
Description
This report displays the rate of acknowledged and resolved events, the longest-lasting events, the least reliable indicators, and hosts generating the most events for a given host group.
How to interpret the report
The first graph displays the rate of acknowledged and resolved events within a specific time frame.

Hostgroup-Host-Pareto
Description
This report allows you to identify hosts responsible for the largest number of exception events in a host group. The data is represented in a Pareto chart.
How to interpret the report
Hosts responsible for 80% of events are highlighted. Hosts are sorted in descending order in terms of number of generated events. The ratio of cumulative events is also shown.
This report helps you to focus on the most problematic hosts by applying the Pareto principle (or 80-20 rule): approximately 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.
