Recording Downtime
Downtime refers to a period of time when a system fails to perform its primary function. Downtime is usually a result of system failure due to an unplanned event. For example, human error, equipment failure, or resource shortage.
Planned events can also be recorded as downtime. For example, routine maintenance.
