1. How is MTTR calculated?

MTTR (mean time to recovery) is the average time it takes to recover from a product or a system failure.

Haystack supports multiple data sources to calculate MTTR each with its own unique touch.

Jira

  • Data Unit: Jira issue

  • Incident Start Date: Issue creation date

  • Incident End Date: Issue resolution date

Opsgenie

  • Data Unit: Opsgenie incident

  • Incident Start Date: Impact start date

  • Incident End Date: Impact end date

PagerDuty

  • Data Unit: Opsgenie incident

  • Incident Start Date: Incident creation date

  • Incident End Date: Incident status changed to 'resolved' date

2. How to configure MTTR?

Step 1: Go to Settings

Click on the 'Settings' tab in the left sidebar to open up Haystack settings.

Click on the 'Configure Metrics' tab in the left sidebar and then click 'View Configuration' under Mean Time To Recover card to configure MTTR.

Step 3: Configure MTTR

After landing MTTR configuration page you first need to select incident source from one of Jira, Opsgenie or PagerDuty.

  • For Opsgenie and PagerDuty you can use priority field to narrow down the scope.

  • For Jira you can filter issues by their type, priority and any custom field of issues.

After selecting the necessary options you can click `Save Configuration` button to save your changes.

Step 4: That's it!

The changes might take a few minutes to be calculated. Go back to MTTR page scroll down and see your organization's MTTR!
