Introduction to Microsoft Services Health
Microsoft Services Health is a feature that helps users keep track of the health of their Microsoft services. It provides real-time status updates, notifications, and information on any ongoing issues with Microsoft services. It is a valuable tool for businesses and individuals who rely on Microsoft services for their day-to-day operations.
How to Access Microsoft Services Health
To access Microsoft Services Health, you need to log in to your Microsoft 365 admin center. Once you have logged in, you can access the dashboard from the left-hand navigation menu. The dashboard will provide you with an overview of all the services that are currently running, including their status, and any ongoing issues.
Understanding the Microsoft Services Health Dashboard
The Microsoft Services Health dashboard provides real-time updates on the status of all Microsoft services. The dashboard is divided into three sections: Service Health, Incident Reports, and Message Center.
Service Health
The Service Health section provides a quick overview of the status of all Microsoft services. Each service is displayed with its current status (healthy, degraded, or down) and any ongoing issues. You can click on each service to get more detailed information about its status and any issues.
Incident Reports
The Incident Reports section provides information on any ongoing issues with Microsoft services. It includes details such as the start time, expected resolution time, and the number of affected users. You can also get more detailed information on each incident by clicking on it.
Message Center
The Message Center section provides important messages from Microsoft regarding any upcoming changes or maintenance activities. It is important to keep an eye on this section to avoid any potential disruptions to your services.
What is Report an Issue?
If you encounter an issue with a Microsoft service that is not listed on the dashboard, you can report it by clicking on the Report an Issue button. This will open a form where you can provide details about the issue you are experiencing. Microsoft support will then investigate the issue and provide updates on its status.
How to Submit a Service Request
If you need technical support for a Microsoft service, you can submit a service request from the Microsoft Services Health dashboard. You will need to provide details about the issue you are experiencing, including any error codes or messages. Microsoft support will then investigate the issue and provide updates on its status.
What are the Different Statuses on Microsoft Services Health?
Microsoft Services Health uses three different statuses to indicate the health of a service:
- Healthy: The service is running normally, and there are no ongoing issues.
- Degraded: The service is still running, but some users may be experiencing issues.
- Down: The service is not running, and all users are affected.

Service Health Communications are updates from Microsoft regarding any ongoing incidents or changes to their services. These updates provide important information on the status of the incident, including any workarounds or resolutions that have been implemented. They also provide an estimated time of resolution so that users can plan accordingly.
How to Monitor or Subscribe to Service Health Notifications
