A status history visualization displays data in a way that shows periodic states over time. In a status history, each field or series is rendered as a horizontal row, with multiple boxes showing the different statuses. This provides you with a centralized view for the status of a component or service.
For example, if you're monitoring the health status of different services, you can use a status history to visualize the different statuses, such as “OK,” “WARN,” or “BAD,” over time. Each status is represented by a different color:
