Analyzing failures for patterns, problems, and trends with reports

Analyzing failures for trends, patterns, and problematic can be done through the following reports:

Reviewing cluster failure summary

The Failure Summary report contains statistical information about resource failures. These statistics are gathered for each of the selected objects over the specified date range. A "failure" in this report refers to any offline status, either because of a fault or manual command. The report shows failures by resource type, failures by node, failures by group, plus min/max/average time to recover.

Reviewing cluster failures by service group

The Failure Summary by Group report contains statistics about resource failures. These statistics are gathered for each of the selected objects over the specified date range. A "failure" in this report refers to any offline status, either because of a fault or manual command. The report shows failures by resource type, failures by node, failures by specific resource, plus min/max/average time to recover.

Reviewing faults

The Fault Trending report displays fault statistics for each resource type. A "fault" in this report refers to faulted resource types. For a given resource type, the faults per week and faults per resource numbers can help you locate possible fault trends.

The top of the chart shows a pie chart, which accounts for the percent of resource types that faulted over the specified time.

The histochart shows the resource type faults over the course of time.

When you hover your mouse over any given area in the pie chart or any of the graphs, you will get additional information. For example, if you hover your mouse over an area in the pie chart, fault percentages are presented. For example, if an area shows 40 percent, that means the resource type has faulted 40 percent of the time. If you hover your mouse over an area of a graph, the total number of faults for a given day are presented. In the graph, if more than one color is represented in a day, those colors represent the number of resource type faults for that day.
