Monitor service group health in the service map

Learn how to monitor service group health using the Splunk APM service map.

After you group services in the service map, you can monitor the health of the service group using the multicolored ring around the service group.

The multicolored ring represents the percentage of the services in the group with the following health statuses: no health status (gray), Warning (yellow), or Critical (red). For more information on service health statuses, see Monitor service health in the service map. The percentages reflect the proportion of services with a specific health status in relation to the total number of services in the group.

For example, consider a service group that has 4 services with the following alerts:

  • Service_1 has 1 critical alert.

  • Service_2 has a 1 warning alert.

  • Service_3 and Service_4 have 0 alerts.

In this example, the multicolored health status ring around the service group would be 25% red, 25% yellow, and 50% gray.

Select a service group with a health status to display a panel with the list of services and the health status of each service. Select a service to navigate to the service view, where you can view the alerts for the service.
