Identify how to track the service health status

  • 3 minutes

It's crucial for an organization to know the health status of the Microsoft 365 services they're using. Your organization’s administrators can use the Microsoft 365 admin center to view the current health status for each of your Microsoft 365 services and tenant. They can also view the history of services that have been affected in the last 30 days, and information about current outages or disruptions to services. It's useful to view the health to find out whether you're dealing with a known issue that has a solution in progress and you don't spend time troubleshooting, or if you should contact support.
