The Current Status widget displays any issues reported in the system. You can use this base system widget as-is in your portal or clone it to suit your own business needs.
The Current Status widget checks the Outages [cmdb_ci_outage] table to see if the system is experiencing any outages.
Service owners and service desk managers report planned or unplanned outages by creating outage records. Each outage record includes Begin and End fields to indicate the duration of the outage. If the End time is later or empty, then the outage is still ongoing. The Current Status widget displays all ongoing outages.

The Current Status displays outages only for services, which are tracked in the Services [cmdb_ci_service] table.
