The Instance Summary Table widget is used for showing the current status and historical availability for a group of servers. Like most widgets, you can scope the results to specific instances and metrics using a variety of filtering options. Also, nine other columns are available to add, which provide more categorization and availability statistics for each server.
Use case
The Instance Summary Table widget is useful when:
-
You want to display the current status of a group of instances.

Example
