Use this page for VMS master, VMS agent collector, dashboard, alerting, and synthetic/readiness issues. The goal is to triage quickly by layer: Infrastructure -> Service -> User -> Business Flow, then route to the right owner.

Fast triage rules

1

Identify impact scope

Check whether the issue affects one host/service, one collector, one dashboard, or the whole VMS master.
2

Check freshness

Compare last metric time, last heartbeat, alert timestamp, and active maintenance windows.
3

Locate the layer

Classify the issue as Infrastructure, Service, User check, or Business Flow to avoid routing it to the wrong owner.
4

Verify inventory

Check system, environment, service, owner, criticality, and scope tags before declaring missing data.
5

Escalate with evidence

Include collector id, host, service, dashboard, alert id, timestamp, and related logs when escalating.

Collector does not send data

Dashboard is stale or missing data

Alert noise

Service health check fails

Pre-market readiness fails
