Reading Results

The results will be shown in a table with each row being a check completed by APImetrics.

Above the table, you can choose which columns to view. All are automatically shown, except the ID column and the Category from the previous page. Each column gives various information to quickly inform you of the outcome of the checks.

  1. Last Seen - when the issue was last seen by APImetrics.
  2. Server - the server the monitor is going to, the domain.
  3. Operation - the HTTP method being used and the endpoint for the monitor.
  4. Check - the check that was performed, such as Schema or Authentication Token.
  5. Variance - the issue identified by APImetrics such as an invalid value or a missing header.
  6. Resolution - the current resolution status for this issue. This is automatically set to Open.

Below the Unresolved Issues table, there is the Show Previously Resolved Issues button. Selecting this will open another table of all the Resolved Issues.

Resolution Status

There are four different options for the Resolution Status:

  • Open - a new issue will automatically be set as Open. This will keep it in the Unresolved Issues table and is intended to signal that this issue has not been looked at yet.
  • Acknowledged - this will keep this issue in the Unresolved Issues table and is intended to signal that this issue has been noted and is being worked on.
  • Muted - this will move this issue into the Resolved Issues table and is intended to signal that this issue has been acknowledged but is not of any concern. Even if the source changes, the system will not create a new non-conformance finding. Note: this will still show as a failure in the overall Conformance checks.
  • Resolved - this will move this issue into the Resolved Issues table and is intended to signal this issue has been acknowledged and changes have been made to make it conformant.
