A.6 Step 5. View and Report on Service Level Agreements

There are several ways to view SLA data. Through Operations Center, it is easy to view what is happening in real time, because service level breaches and metrics are issued as performance is being evaluated based on the objectives set.

Then, results and statistics can be published to the Web using Operations Center dashboard’s SLA-related reports.

  1. In the Explorer pane, expand Enterprise > Services.

  2. Click Customers.
