Domain history

The history is the record of a domain under continuous stabilization. It starts the day you turn it on and adds one block per month. To open it, open a domain and, in its menu, press History. The screen is titled Domain history.

It is a screen to read. Nothing on it changes the domain.

The account Owner can always open it. A Operator or a Viewer opens it if their role includes viewing domains and the Workspace of the domain is assigned to them.

• Show the work. One block sums up where the domain started and where it is now.
• Account for every loss. Each regression is listed with its date and with how it ended.
• Answer "what happened in March?". Each month keeps its own score, figures and events.
• Keep the record. The history stays when continuous stabilization is turned off, and continues if you turn it on again.

• The history belongs to the domain. It covers every period in which the domain was under continuous stabilization. A note at the bottom of the screen says how long it is kept: for as long as the domain exists.
• It records a few kinds of events. An improvement that became protected, a regression, a regression that came back, a recovery, and a change that someone accepted as intentional.
• An improvement is protected in one of three ways. A finding was resolved, the score of an area rose, or the risk of an area dropped.
• A regression is something protected that was lost. It ends in one of four ways: it recovered, someone accepted it as an intentional change, it is still open, or continuous stabilization was turned off before it closed.
• Months go from the most recent to the oldest. Only months with something to show appear. All of them are on the screen: there are no pages and no filter.
• A month runs on UTC time. An event close to midnight on the last day can fall in the neighbouring month.
• A regression is listed in the month it opened. If it closed in a later month, it counts as recovered or accepted in that later month.
• The detail of each measurement is kept for a limited number of days. The same note at the bottom says how many. The history is a summary and does not depend on that detail.

From top to bottom.

• The title, with the help button, and a line with the name of the domain.
• Since we started. The date continuous stabilization was first turned on. The overall score, from the first one measured to the latest, with the difference in green or red. One mark per area with its score at the start and now. Then the totals: protected improvements, findings resolved and protected, regressions with how many recovered, were accepted or are open, and the typical recovery time once at least one regression has recovered. If the domain had more than one period, the periods are listed at the end.
• Month by month. One block per month. The header of each block shows the month, the score at the start and at the end of the month, and the figures of the month: protected improvements, regressions, recovered ones with their typical time, accepted ones, and the uptime with its number of outages. A figure at zero is not shown.
• Inside a month. Press the header to open or close it. The most recent month is open when you arrive. It has up to two lists, each from newest to oldest: Protected and Regressions. Each row has its date and time. A regression also shows how it ended, in green if it recovered and in red if it is still open. A month with neither says that nothing changed and what was protected held.
• The note at the bottom, with how long the detail of the measurements and the history are kept.
