Status & Success Rate > Success Rate > Success Rate - First Attempt report
This report shows success rate as it is aggregated at the attempt (known as "try") level. Specifically, it zooms in on the measurement of the first attempt for each job. Jobs can be configured for x many attempts before you exit with a status. If for example the attempt setting is two and success is attained on the second attempt, this data translates into a 50% All Attempt rate and 0% First Attempt rate and 100% job success rate. This metric is only supported for backup applications in which attempt level data is available. A target line is also supported providing for an effective visual presentation on when the target is exceeded. Filtering is available on all components and attributes. Main use case is to use this report and the All Attempts report together to see how often success is attained on the first attempt as opposed to second, third etc. attempts.
