Determining the Qualifying Data

After setting up the data uptime report, optionally update the default
values for the following:

• the data average interval

• which data to include in the uptime calculation (flagged data

and/or manually modified data)

• the Good percent to indicate the percent of data that must be

available for each day to qualify the day as Good

Note: The Data Uptime Reporter calculates the rating
of Good, Partial, or Missing based on the total number of
data points available and marked as good for the selected
data averaging interval.

Selecting the Data Averaging Interval

Select the averaging interval you want the Data Uptime Reporter
to use for uptime calculations. Select the 1 Minute, 5 Minute, 15
Minute, Hourly, or Daily averaging interval from the Average
drop-down list.

Avoid misleading uptime calculations by using the same averaging
interval in which the data is stored. For example, selecting the 1
Minute or 5 Minute averaging interval for data actually generated
in 15-minute intervals will result in grossly overstated missing data
and a Partial uptime rating.

Including/Excluding Flagged Data

Use the Quality Flagged option to include or exclude flagged data
from the uptime calculation. Flagged data is data that has been
marked by the user.
