Use the System Availability task to analyze the availability of a managed system or group. You can view statistics about managed-system uptime and downtime through reports and graphical representations.
System Availability can identify problematic managed systems that have had too many unplanned outages over a specified period of time, a managed system that has availability data that is too old, or a managed system that fails to report data to IBM Director Server. When a system-availability report is generated, managed systems that meet the criteria that you specify as being problematic are flagged as such. You can run the System Availability task on a managed system or group immediately or schedule a System Availability task using the Scheduler task.
