    Server Uptime/Downtime Calculation

    Hi

    New to the site and new to excel so hope someone can help, we have a number of internal office servers (Active Directory – Exchange – SharePoint “free” etc etc usual stuff) and I need to create an uptime/downtime calculator in excel with the facility to record the information on a daily, monthly and yearly bases but not sure how to go about this.

    I would like a way to record on a daily bases what the uptime/downtime has been for each server and then to record the same for that month in a percentage…



    For example in a 24hr period for each month of the year:
    For that day Active Directory Server was UP for 24hrs. (100% uptime) – (0% downtime)
    X by the number of days in the month i.e.
    Over the month Active Directory has been UP for. (XX% uptime) – (XX% downtime)

    Exchange Server was DOWN for 1hrs. (95.833% uptime) – (x% downtime)
    X by the number of days in the month i.e.
    Over the month Exchange has been UP for. (XX% uptime) – (XX% downtime)

    SharePoint Server was DOWN for 1hrs. (95.833% uptime) – (x% downtime)
    X by the number of days in the month i.e.
    Over the month SharePoint has been UP for. (XX% uptime) – (XX% downtime)



    Appreciate any help anyone can give me.

    Hi cbatrody
    Thanks for the template, its a good place for me to start.

    what a learning curve :-)

    Hey kvsrinivasamurthy
    Thank you so much for amending and re-uploading. Just looking at it now and I have a few questions, how does it work? I mean, I assume the excel sheet is presuming there 100% uptime? so I just put in the date of WHEN and HOW LONG the system was down for, by amending the downtime start and downtime end? If I wanted to record the 100% uptime for each day what is the best way to do this? would I just add the date and set the downtime start and downtime end to 0.00 to give 100% uptime

    As I need to record this information every day over the month for the year would it work if I had a tab for each month (Jan - Feb - March - etc), in each sheet I have the 3 servers then the days of the month, will the attached work?

    Do I need column A (sr.no), column C (Week), column D (Month) and column J (MONTH) - I know column J is in the calculation, can this be pointed to each hearer i.e. column A1


    Thanks again for all your help

    p.s. I also need to add the calculation for the total percentage (%) for each server for each month... i.e. Active Directory = 3 hrs of downtime in April = XX% downtime or the server was up for XX%

    Re: Server Uptime/Downtime Calculation

    Hi kvsrinivasamurthy

    Thank you so much for all your help. From the calculation you have done for me I have now managed to create what I need for Server/System/Network Uptime and Downtime in % KPI's. Therefore I wanted to share what we've managed to do.

    All that needs to be done to use the % Server/Network KPI calculator is:
    1) Change Heading Name (i.e. Exchange) to what you want.
    2) Add the date for each day of a failure.
    3) Add the Downtime (Start) in the format of 24 hrs (15:00).
    4) Add the Downtime (End) in the format of 24 hrs (15:15).
    5) Add/Copy the TABs at the bottom for each month you need and re-name.

    This will calculate the % for each day and the total for the month, if I have missed anything please feel free to amend and share.

    Once again, thanks for the help.

    Dear kvsrinivasamurthy,
    Can you kindly convert the recording of downtime to Seconds instead of per hours?

    Thanks
