MetricDescription
Total IncidentsTotal count of incidents matching the provided filters.
Total Response EffortTotal time responders spent engaged in resolving incidents. Measured from the time a responder acknowledges or accepts a responder request until the incident is resolved. The user-defined incident duration, if it exists, is used for this calculation. Please read Edit Incident Duration for more information.
Service MTTAMean time to acknowledge across services: the average amount of time from when an incident is created until the time the first responder acknowledges an incident. Excludes incidents that were not acknowledged.
Service MTTRMean time to resolve across services: the average amount of time from when an incident was created until it was resolved. Excludes incidents that have not been resolved.

Data Visualizations

You can change the dropdown at the top left to select one of following visualizations:

VisualizationDescription
Incident VolumeIncident count by service.
Response EffortResponse effort in hours by service. The user-defined incident duration, if it exists, is used for this calculation. Please read Edit Incident Duration for more information.

Service Display Order

Services with data that match the given filters and date range are shown, and they are sorted by the count of incidents each service has had. If a service does not have any data that matches the filters within the given date range, they will not appear in the Services List.

The available Services List columns are:

Column NameDescription
ServiceThe service's name.
TeamThe Team each service belongs to. Teams allow users to group and control user access to associated PagerDuty objects, such as escalation policies, users, schedules and services.
Escalation PolicyThe escalation policy name.
Uptime %The percentage of time in the defined date range that the service was not interrupted by a major incident.
IncidentsThe total count of incidents that occurred on the service within the specified time period.
Acknowledged IncidentsThe percentage and the total number of incidents that were acknowledged on the service. Only explicit incident acknowledgments count; reassign, resolve, and escalation actions do not imply acknowledgement. Acknowledgements by added responders are excluded from this metric.
Auto Resolved IncidentsTotal count of incidents that resolved automatically (i.e., not by a human).
MTTAThe average time for the first assigned user to acknowledge an incident. Reassign, resolve, and escalation actions do not imply acknowledgement.
MTTRThe average time from when an incident was created until it was resolved.
Response EffortThe total engaged time across all responders, measured from the time a responder acknowledges or accepts a responder request until the incident is resolved. Response Effort of resolved incidents can be edited on an incident's details page. Edited values are marked with an asterisk (*).
Total EscalationsThe total number of escalations that occurred for these incidents.
Service IDThe service's ID (e.g., PXXXXXX).
MTTEA measure of people's response time. This metric measures the time from the first user engagement (acknowledge or responder accept) to the last. This metric is only used for incidents with multiple responders; for incidents with one or no engaged users, this value is null.
MTTMThe time between start of an incident, and the last additional responder to acknowledge. For incidents with one or no engaged users, this value is null.
Average Assigned RespondersThe average number of responders assigned to an incident.
Total Engaged RespondersThe total number of responders engaged in an incident.
Timeout Escalated IncidentsTotal count of timeout escalations that occurred for incidents on this service.
Manually Escalated IncidentsTotal count of manual escalated incidents that occurred for incidents on this service.
Total ReassignmentsThe total count of incident reassignments from one responder to another across all incidents.
Reassigned IncidentsTotal count of incidents that had at least one reassignment on this service.
InterruptionsInterruptions are when an on-call responder receives a mobile push, phone call, or SMS (text) notification. Notifications sent from various channels (push, phone, SMS) to the same destination are counted as one interruption. Notifications that arrive within 60 seconds of each other are counted as a single interruption. Email notifications are excluded from this metric.
Business Hour InterruptionsInterruptions that happened on weekdays between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.*
Off Hour InterruptionsInterruptions that happened on weekdays between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m., or on a weekend between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m.*
Sleep Hour InterruptionsInterruptions that happened any day of the week between 9 p.m. and 8 a.m.*
Total Snoozed SecondsTotal seconds the incident was snoozed.

* Times are given in the user's configured timezone. If they have not configured a time zone, the report will use the account's time zone.

By default, the Services List display 10 results at a time. Use the dropdown below the table to select from 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 results per page. If there are more results than the selected dropdown value, you can use the arrows (i.e., , , , ) to navigate through results.
