For a Performance Agent, this section shows graphically the availability for the selected time period (day, week, month) and date.
Sidebar colour coding
When viewed for today only, the sidebar for each section on the Details page gives an indication if it is currently impacting the associated heat tile colour. This applies for collapsed sections also.
Today only
Colour coding applies to Performance Agent and Performance Analysis sections.

Highlight displays the values for each data point in the time period:
Day

Month
Shows 6 data points per day (every 4 hours), Maximum for each 4 hour period is shown
For any time period, hover on a point to see date, timestamp and availability status. If hovering on a week or month, there may be multiple availability states in the time period.

Week/Month: Priority on availability states
For week or month, if more than one availability event occurs during the time span (one hour for a week, 4 hours for a month), then only one blip is shown on the Availability line using the priority shown in the table above.
All availability events for the time span are listed in the tooltip when hovering on a point.
Performance charts
Any Highlight supported performance tests on the performance agent show a performance chart on this page.
The test name on the external is shown instead of the test type. Hover to see the full name. If configured as a link on the controller, then the name is blue. Click to open the test on the external dashboard. This is currently only possible with Thousand Eyes tests.
By default, the chart shows non-business hours with a vertical grey background and business hours with a vertical white background on day and week views. Business hours are not shown on a month view. Toggle off to show alternate horizontal grey and white background areas.
Business hours are the time periods (to the nearest hour) that a business is operational. Highlight uses business hours when displaying charts on the Details page, filtering reporting results and generating alerts. Default values are 06:00 to 18:00 Monday through Friday with Saturday and Sunday excluded. However, you may see different settings if the business hours on a parent folder or location have been changed. Business hours reflect the local time zone for the location.
Any purple background areas on the chart show current and past maintenance periods. Watches in maintenance do not send alerts, change the colour of heat tiles or decrement the availability figure for the time period.
