Source facts

\n

Service Health’s Impacted Resources tab lists resources that are or might be affected by a service issue. Impact type can be filtered as Confirmed or Potential, separately from Resource Health status.

\n

At subscription scope, a Resource Health status appears only when its signal is available. Other rows show N/A and a plain-text resource name instead of a health link. Tenant-scope rows omit Resource Health status, tenant name and tenant ID, and also show resource names as plain text. Microsoft Learn.

\n

Applicability

\n

Record the issue, selected subscription or tenant scope, filters and affected resource identifiers. Treat missing health detail as an evidence boundary rather than silently converting it into Available or Unavailable.

\n

DSE recommendation

\n

DSE recommends maintaining separate fields for reported impact type, available platform health and observed application behavior. Ask the workload owner for the relevant functional evidence when a Resource Health signal is unavailable. Preserve the original N/A value so incident reporting does not manufacture a status the platform did not provide.

\n

Verification

\n

Compare the incident’s impacted-resource rows with the selected scope and filters. For resources with a health link, review that evidence; for others, document the missing signal and obtain the approved workload checks. Reconcile changes in impact classification over the incident timeline without overwriting earlier observations. A plain-text name or missing status should not by itself close an impact investigation.
