Overview

A summary view to highlight the technology and network supporting the service and to signpost anomalies where further investigation is needed.

Quick tip: Filters can be set to any time range, granularity, agents and location - selecting the segment of a pie chart is a quick way to filter.

Note: (28 days) chart titles don't update if you change the reporting period.
