Today, The Office 365 Team is pleased to announce that the new Office 365 Service health dashboard is now available to all customers. Since the first preview—announced at Ignite in September 2016—the new Service health dashboard has provided admins with a deeper level of service health insight.

 

Here is a summary of the main improvements:

  • Access rich and more actionable incident insights
  • Quickly understand the incident
  • Easily see the impact for your organization
  • Quickly provide feedback

    We are running a single Office 365 Tenant for over 8000 users across 15 sites. Is there plans to have any kind of RSS feed or public view for the service health. We would like technicans who dont have Office 365 accass and users to be able to see if there are any outages or issues.

        Thanks for looping me in, Maddie.

        Hi John,

        thanks for your feedback. I've shared it with the engineering team.

        A couple of thoughts: The service health dashboard is a tenant specific view, and shows you only incidents which your tenant is affected by. That's why only you have access to it in your service health dashboard in the admin center. You can give people in your organization access to the service health dashboard by i.e. assigning them i.e. the role of a service administrator. A person does not need to ahve an Office 365 license in order to be an admin. You can find more about the roles here: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/About-Office-365-admin-roles-da585eea-f576-4f55-a1e0-87090b6aaa9d

        We're also currently working on email notifications. These will become avaialble later this year and will make it easy for you to forward the information via email as well. Please let me know if this helps or if you have additional needs that we're not considering yet.

        Thanks,

        Anne
