AcronymsAbbreviations everyone uses and few explain

Uptime

Service availability

The time or percentage of time during which a system is running and accessible to users. Uptime alone does not measure full service quality, so it should be combined with error rates and response time.

Why it matters

It’s the simplest measure of trust in a service: the percentage of time it’s operational. But a complete picture only emerges when combined with errors and response time — 'running slowly' still counts as not working.

What's missing without it

Without measuring availability, outages become anecdotes — you don’t know whether they lasted five minutes or five hours, or whether things are better than they were a quarter ago.

When it is used

In monitoring every production service and in SLA reporting.

How we use it

Monitoring measures monthly uptime of the CMS panel and alerts on health endpoint unavailability.
