Device - Problem Areas: State Change Timeline

This device report displays a time line of when each monitor on a device changed from one state to another during the selected time period.

The following information is displayed within the report:

• Start time. The date and time of the state change.
• Monitor. The type of monitor that experienced the state change.
• State. The state of the condition at the time of the poll. The thin gray bar on a state indicator color block means that the device state change has not been acknowledged.
• Duration. The amount of time the state remained unchanged.
• Message. The actual result message returned to WhatsUp Gold at the time of the poll.
• Important: At first glance, you may feel the report is displaying incorrect information. For example, if you select the time period to be "Today" or "Yesterday," and you see a date that occurred last week, or even last month. This happens because the monitor is still in the same state today as it began a few days, weeks, or a month before.

Use the date/time picker at the top of the report to select a date range. The date and time format for the date on this report matches the format specified in Program Options > Regional.
