Service Health Heatmap

View heatmap of alert states for CIs associated with a Service. The heatmap organizes CIs by the Service selected. Each rectangle in the heatmap represents a CI (for example, localhost-14). Each Metric (selected from the drop-down menu) has a color gradient bar that maps relative values to colors.

Use the available drop-down menus or right-click to filter data shown in the display. Use the check-boxescheckbox00180.gifto include or exclude labels in the heatmap. Move your mouse over a rectangle to see additional information. By default, this display shows Alert Impact.

Note: The “Up” Arrow (arrow_up_level00182.gif) opens the most recently viewed display under Multi Area Service Views. For example, if the last viewed display under Multi Area Service Views was Services CI Type Summary, then clicking arrow_up_level00183.gif opens the Services CI Type Summary display.

 

Filter By:

The following filtering options are typically included:

 

Owner: Choose an Owner to see metrics for Areas associated with that Owner.   

Area: Choose an Area to see metrics for Groups associated with that Area and Owner.   

Group: Choose a Group to see metrics for Services associated with that Group, Area and Owner.   

Service:    Choose a Service to see metrics for Environments associated with that Service, Group, Area and Owner.   

Env: Choose an Environment to see metrics for Environments associated with that Service, Group, Area and Owner.   


Metric:

Choose the type of metric to show in the heatmap. Each metric has its own gradient bar that maps relative values to colors:

 

 

Alert Impact

The product of the maximum Alert Severity of alerts in the heatmap rectangle multiplied by the maximum Criticality of alerts in the heatmap rectangle. Values range from 0 - 10, as indicated in the color gradient color_gradient00184.gif bar, where 10 is the highest Alert Impact.

 

 

Alert Severity

The maximum level of alerts in the heatmap rectangle. Values range from 0 - 2, as indicated in the color gradient color_gradient_sever00185.gif bar, where 2 is the highest Alert Severity.

red_indicator_light00186.gif Red indicates that one or more metrics have reached their alarm threshold. Metrics that have exceeded their specified ALARM LEVEL threshold have an Alert Severity value of 2.

yellow_indicator_light00187.gif Yellow indicates that one or more metrics have reached their alarm threshold. Metrics that have exceeded their specified WARNING LEVEL threshold have an Alert Severity value of 1.

green_indicator_light00188.gif Green indicates that no metrics have reached their alert thresholds. Metrics that have not exceeded their specified thresholds have an Alert Severity value of 0.

 

 

Alert Count

The total number of critical and warning alerts in the heatmap rectangle. The color gradient color_gradient_count00189.gif bar, populated by the current heatmap, shows the value/color mapping. The numerical values in the gradient bar range from 0 to the maximum count of alerts in the heatmap. The middle value in the gradient bar indicates the average alert count.

 

 

Criticality

The maximum level of Criticality (rank of importance) in the heatmap rectangle. Values range from 1 to 5, as indicated in the color gradient color_gradient_critic00190.gif bar, where 5 is the highest Criticality.

Criticality is specified in the Service Data Model (CMDB) by your administrator. Criticality values are listed in the Component Views - “CI / Service Table” display, which range from A to E, where A is the highest Criticality (level 5 maps to a Criticality of A and level 1 maps to a Criticality of E with equally spaced intermediate values).
