Availability Reports¶
Service availability reports are recorded daily and measure both duration and the percentage of time during which each service is available in a 24 hour period, see the “Availability Computations” section @10.3 below for details. The evaluated parameters are tabulated and are accessible from the web frontend menu: Statistics → Availability reports
