Call Graph Profiling
| Health status name | Health status color | Description |
|---|---|---|
| No health status | Gray | The service has no existing alerts. |
| Warning | Yellow | The service:
|
| Critical | Red | The service has at least one major or critical alert. |
For example:
Consider a service that has 3 minor alerts and 20 info alerts. This service would have a Warning (yellow) health status because it has 0 major or critical alerts and at least 1 minor alert.
Consider a service that has 1 critical alert and 4 minor alerts. This service would have a Critical (red) health status since it has at least 1 critical alert.
Service health statuses are based on the alerts triggered by custom and AutoDetect detectors. For more information, see Introduction to alerts and detectors in Splunk Observability Cloud and Intro to AutoDetect alerts and detectors.
