The Challenge of System Status Visibility

For IT teams managing automation infrastructure, uncertainty about system status creates cascading problems:

• Engineers waste time manually checking if instances are running
• Teams lack immediate awareness when systems come back online after maintenance
• Delayed notifications can result in missed automation opportunities
• Questions about system status flood IT channels

These seemingly small inefficiencies compound into significant operational friction, with team members spending up to 95% more time on system status verification than necessary.
