The outage log captures information on a service outage and is part of the availability management process. Each time you have an outage, record it here. The availability report deducts this time from the availability.

1. Log in to Neurons for ITSM.
2. Open the **Service** or **CI Service** workspace.
3. Select the **Outage Log** tab. (See [Working with Services](docId:2BvRzyY_8F2vWf83soFuG).) The application displays the list of logs, if any.
4. Click **New Outage Log**. The application displays a blank form.
5. Enter information into the fields.
