A pie chart shows success/failure rates for the selected time period and summary of the notifications that have been sent is included. A list shows the event monitors that have had the most failures and a similar section shows the devices that have had the most failures. A list of recent notifications is included so that you can see the cause of the failures.

The network device reports list all of the devices that were being monitored in the selected period in a table that also shows the number of monitoring actions for each. Additional columns show the success and failure counts along with a percentage showing the success ratio.
