Incident notification frequency

If a service health incident occurs, Citrix considers the following characteristics when posting to status.cloud.com:

  • Duration of impact
  • Frequency of impact

As the incident is being addressed, Citrix posts the following types of notifications to the Cloud Health Dashboard:

  • Investigating: This notification indicates that Citrix has identified the issue as urgent and is investigating the issue.
  • Monitoring: This notification indicates that Citrix has identified the root cause and is mitigating the issue.
  • Resolved: This notification indicates that Citrix has resolved the issue and the service is restored to a healthy state.

While investigating and monitoring an incident, Citrix posts updates at 60 to 120 minute intervals. These updates may include information such as:

  • Additional details about the incident.
  • A description of the actions Citrix is taking to resolve the incident.
  • An indication that no new changes occurred since the last update.

When an incident is resolved, Citrix posts a final update. This update might indicate the incident has been resolved and the service has been restored to a healthy state.
