SLA Availability Calculation for Current Month
Click To Explore
When an outage occurred in the beginning of a month, the actual availability value that would be presented in the SLA reports that can be found in the ‘SLA Reports’ section of the Analytics console would be excessively low. That was because the actual availability was calculated using the elapsed number of service hours since the start of the month, rather than the total number of service hours in the month.
If no more outages occurred, the actual availability would increase as more time elapsed. Only at the very end of the month would the actual availability stop increasing.
This has now changed to make it easier to see what the actual availability will be at the end of the current month if no more outages occur.
So the actual availability percentage for the current month is now calculated as follows in the SLA reports:
Total number of service hours in the month minus the outage duration in service hours, divided by the total number of service hours in the month
A Note From the Road: What SPARK Taught Me About Time
During the second SPARK event in Antwerp, I stood at the back of a training room and watched a customer build a custom integration with our new iPaaS, wiring Xurrent to another system in her stack that had never talked to it before. No services rep doing it for her. No statement of work, no project plan with a kickoff and a go-live date. Just a person with live beta access in her hands, connecting two systems by hand, and finishing it before her coffee went cold. A year ago that would have been a multi-week project with a budget attached. She looked up, a little surprised it had actually worked, and said something I have not stopped thinking about since. She said it just gave her her week back.
