Can PRTG prompt administrators to input Reason for last outages after sensor has recovered if the sensor was not paused during the period of outage


Article Comments

Hi there,

You can use the comments tab of every object to enter a text. This will allow every administrator to document the fixes which were applied to the sensor.

I need to differentiate between scheduled downtime and unscheduled outages due to various reasons. At times the administrator is not aware of the scheduled downtime and cannot put the server under scheduled maintenance. Only after investigation the PRTG administrator gets to know that the reason.

Can the administrator mark periods of sensor data as scheduled downtime and other reasons. This can help measure the availability percentage of the system or service.

It will not be possible to define maintenance windows for events in the past, these events need to be configured before the outage. Manipulating historic data would affect the overall downtime and would make SLA contracts, i.e. for MSPs, not reliable.
