Best practices for BI in calculating availability

Hi Forum,

I am building a bi tree to calculate the availability of an application, for example Alfresco. My question is whether it is enough to add only two services (database services and web server) or also add the hosts of those services to calculate availability.

Example:

Alfresco
-> service_HTTPS ALFRESCO 8143
-> service_TCP Port MySQL
or

Alfresco
-> host_ALFRESCO -> service_HTTPS ALFRESCO 8143
-> host_BBDD -> service_TCP Port MySQL

Thank you

Hello @a3093,

My pov for your question is that you need to set it up according to what visibility do you want to have.
If you are providing other teams access to that BI, maybe you should add the host state, because if they see the services stopped they would know that’s because of host down.
But for instance if you don’t feel that need or the other teams don’t feel it just go ahead for the services.
If you do reporting maybe you should add.
What I usually do is something like this :
Alfresco
—> Host availability:
* Host status
----> Application services:
* Service 1
* Service 2
-----> Database status:
* TCP port Mysql
* Mysql plugin services “n” services.

Cheers
