This dashboard displays a series of color-coded tiles for each of your Business Services. The dashboard is updated in real time to reflect the most recent information about each service.

The dashboard displays services based on their health and availability status, ranging from "critical" displaying with a red background at the top of the dashboard to "healthy" displaying with a green background at the bottom. Services that become unavailable also display with a red background, similar to those with a "critical" health status. This color-coordinated hierarchy enables you to quickly see which services most require your attention.

Each tile includes the following information:

  • The service's name and icon, if applicable
  • A background color indicating the service's current health status
  • A line chart indicating the service's health over the selected time period

Click a service tile to go to the Service Investigator page for that service, where you can view more information about the service and its health.
