WSU Systems Status — what the colors designate
Selected Wayne State computer systems are being monitored by 4
robots located around the WSU campus. Every 15 minutes the robots attempt
to access the selected systems, and they report back to us. The
notification table on our system
status page displays
one of 4 colors that describe the robots' success or failure at accessing the
systems.
- Green = system is available
- When the status display for a specific system is green, it means that
all 4 robots were able to access the system
during the past hour.
- Yellow = system has intermittent problems
- When the status display for a specific system is yellow, it means that 1,
2, or 3 of the 4 robots monitoring the system was unable
to access it during the past hour. This may indicate a localized access problem.
The status remains yellow until all 4 of the robots are able to access the
system for 1 full hour.
- Red = system is not available
- When the status display for a specific system is red, it means that all 4
of the robots monitoring the system were unable to access it during the past
hour. This may indicate a problem at the computing center.
- Gray = system status cannot be determined
- When the status display for a specific system is gray, it means that none
of the robots are giving any reports about that system. This may indicate
that all the robots are not operating.
