Reliability Monitor for Windows Vista gives a system stability overview and details about events that affect reliability. It displays systems stability history in a one look and allows you see details on an every day about events that affect reliability. It computes the Stability Index displayed in System Stability Chart over the lifetime of system. It utilizes data given by RACAgent scheduled task. Reliability Monitor will begin with showing a Stability Index rating and particular event information 24 hours after system installation.

To start Reliability Monitor in Microsoft Management Console, right click Computer, and click Manage. In navigation pane, enlarge Reliability and Performance, enlarge Monitoring Tools, and tick Reliability Monitor. Membership in local Administrators group, or corresponding, is least necessary to utilize Reliability Monitor.

Depending on data gathered over lifetime of system, every date in System Stability Chart contains a graph point displaying that day's System Stability Index rating. System Stability Index is a number from 1 (least stable) to 10 (most stable).

• Latest failures are weighted more heavily than previous failures, permitting a development over time to be reflected in an ascending System Stability Index after a reliability problem has been solved.

• Days when system is turned off or in a sleep state are not utilized when computing System Stability Index.

• If there is not sufficient data to compute a stable System Stability Index, the graphed line will be dotted. When sufficient data has been recorded to make a steady System Stability Index, the graphed line will be solid.

• If there are any important modifications to system time, an Information icon will show on the graph for every day on which system time was used to.
This capable of keeps a year of history for system steadiness and reliability events. System Stability Chart shows a rolling graph arranged by date. First half of System Stability Chart shows a graph of Stability Index. In next half of chart, five rows track Reliability Events that either supply to stability amount for system or give associated information about software installation and deletion.
Reliability Events recorded in System Stability Report contain the following:

• System Clock Changes

• Software Installs and Uninstalls

• Application Failures

• Hardware Failures

• Windows Failures

• Miscellaneous Failures

Also to recognizing problems with separate applications and hardware parts, Reliability Monitor's graph allows whether important modifications in stability started at similar time. As you can see all activity on a single date in one report, you can make knowledgeable decisions about how to solve it.
