Feature Requests Make "Partial connectivity issue (IPv6 only)" less ambiguous
Completed
Uptime is categorised based on whether IPv4/IPv6 is impacted, as described in https://headwayapp.co/updown-release-notes/less-visibility-for-partial-connectivity-issues-(ipv6-only)-176227 .
My first interpretation of "Partial connectivity issue (IPv6 only)" is that there is only IPv6 connectivity (and IPv4 is down).
But based on my dashboard (and knowledge of my server), I figure "Partial connectivity issue (IPv6 only)" means "only IPv6 is down".
Perhaps this could be made less ambiguous, e.g.
- Partial connectivity issue (IPv6 down, IPv4 up)
- Partial connectivity issue (IPv6 down)
- Partial connectivity issue (❌ IPv6, ✅ IPv4)

Good point, I never realized it could be interpreted both ways.
I also noticed some people tend not to read the whole thing and misinterpret the "partial connectivity issue" as "not reachable from some location". So maybe I should kill two bird with one stone by changing this wording.
How about something like: "IPv6 connectivity issue (IPv4 up)" ?
SGTM!
I just changed to "IPv6 connectivity issue (IPv4 up)"
Thanks!
I see on the status page, under "Last months", the tooltip under each day still says "Partial connectivity issue (IPv6 only)".
Perhaps future months will have the updated string?
Good eye! but this is just caching it'll go away eventually.
If you check the current week you'll see the new wording.
