Use this report to proactively manage clients, servers and objects. Consecutive errors may portend hardware reliability issues. Using this report you can identify not only consecutive errors, but also the number of consecutive days that the errors persisted.
The default order for this listing is descending order, with the source (clients/objects) having the most consecutive errors listed first. Correlate the number of consecutive errors with the number of consecutive days so that you can disregard errors that appear to be intermittent.
The Consecutive Errors report provides the following information:
