SDT Inventory Report
Last updated on 10 February, 2025The SDT Inventory report enables you to view detailed information about the Scheduled Downtime (SDT) for resources, services, and websites. This enables you to view these details in a single, configurable report. The report displays the user who scheduled the downtime, the type of SDT (for example, “DeviceGroup”), start and end times of the SDT, and the duration of the SDT. You can also view both active and historical SDT.
When you configure the report, you specify a time range for the data, and then define either a resource or website to collect the SDT values for. In addition, you can choose a user so the report displays SDTs based only on the user that placed a resource or website in SDT.
You can choose to generate the report on a schedule or ad-hoc.
Note: The maximum time range for an ad-hoc report is limited to 30 days.
