Service Catalog Conditions

FireHydrant allows customizing and tracking the conditions of your Catalog components when marking them on incidents. This allows you to specify the degree or severity with which a Service, Functionality, or Environment may be impacted in the incident.

Default Conditions

The default conditions are:

  • Unavailable: The component is not functioning.
  • Degraded: The component is somewhat functioning, but not at maximum capacity. This could mean major performance issues or bugs that heavily impact usability.
  • Bug: The component is mostly functioning as expected, but may have issues impacting an aspect not core to the component's function.
  • Operational: The component is fully functioning as expected.

Customizing and Using

These conditions can be customized according to your organization's needs. To configure, you can edit the existing Conditions by clicking the Edit pencil next to the appropriate entry, or by clicking "+ Add condition" to create a new condition.

Once you've configured them, they are usable when marking impacted components on incidents as well as in several other areas of the product like Severity Matrix and more.
