Component Groups

A component group can be formed by grouping similar functional services or resources. Creating a component group can help declutter the status page to give it a more organized and comprehensible look.

The status of a component group will always be the status of the component with the highest severity. Based on severity, component status has the following hierarchy:

• Major Outage
• Partial Outage
• Under Maintenance
• Degraded Performance 
• Suspended

For instance, let us take a component group named CG as an example. CG has five components, in this case five servers, A, B, C, D, and E, and the status of the components are as follows: 

• Server A: Partial Outage
• Server B: Under Maintenace
• Server C: Major Outage
• Server D: Operational
• Server E: Operational

The status of the component group CG will be shown as Major Outage only, as it is the status of the highest severity. However, if all the components have the same status (say Operational), then the status of the component group will be shown as Operational.
