Topology
One of the main sources of truth used in the Monitoring Service is the topology. It helps to discover and map relationships between services / resources. Via the topology the owner may have in-depth visibility into the infrastructure, by enabling the Monitoring Service to categorize, classify, and finally monitor the services in it.
Downtimes
The term downtime is used to refer to periods when a service is unavailable. Downtime can be caused by failure in hardware (physical equipment), (logic controlling equipment), interconnecting equipment (such as cables, facilities, routers,...), transmission (wireless, microwave, satellite), and/or capacity (system limits).
Weights
In ARGO you may combine top level A/R results (such as results referring to you data center, institution as a whole) into a higher level of abstraction such as organisations, projects, federation.
