SERVICE AVAILABILITY · Workflow idea

Find out when a service needs attention and keep a clear record of what happened.

Check a defined list of services at regular intervals and keep a dated history of reachable and unavailable results. Give operations staff enough context to investigate, verify apparent outages before communicating externally, and require human approval before customer updates, service changes, or recovery actions.

The handoff

A time-stamped service status history with verified incidents ready for an authorized responder.

Keep in mind

A failed check can result from a temporary network issue or an incorrect service address rather than an outage. Keep monitoring limited to services the organization is authorized to check, verify failures with an operations owner, use only approved internal alert recipients, and require human review before customer messages, service changes, or remediation.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Maintain an authorized service list

Record approved service addresses, expected responses, owners, and appropriate check intervals.

Choose status history details

Decide which timestamps, outcomes, and investigation notes are useful and who may access them.

Approve internal alert wording and recipients

Set the operations contacts and message details in advance and assign an owner to verify incidents.

Set customer communication and action boundaries

Name who approves public status updates, operational changes, and recovery steps before they occur.
