Service Availability Monitoring
---------------------------------------------------

When upgrading the SAM UIs on the 3rd of July, the 'CE-sft-caver'
critical test was missing from the package and not submitted regularly
to the sites. This problem was present from the 3rd of July at 07:00h
UTC to the 7th of July at 21:00h UTC. We are working with GridView to
ensure that the problem will not impact site availability figures for
the month of July.
