Lightning symbol in Icinga Web (IcingaDB)

erwinerhart · March 26, 2025, 7:52am

I got a question from a colleague today. He asked me what the lightning symbol in some check results in the new IcingaDB module mean. I compared all values with other check results but couldn´t fine any information why there are sometimes these lightnings and sometimes not. Any explanation for this?
