# Downtime Detection
## Acknowledge
When a station has unexpectedly stopped production, Acknowledge is the first action that must be taken. To inform colleagues that the issue is under control and steps are being taken to resolve it.
## Estimate
Submit an estimated time to resolve an issue once a solution is found.
**Estimate Threshold Notification Groups**
## Escalate
If a solution can't be found, Escalate raises the status of the issue to bring in the right people to help. This can be triggered either manually or automatically by Busroot, if an Estimate is not entered within a time limit or has expired.
## **Escalation Groups**
**Escalation Rules/Limits**
Define the time between when a Station stops and is automatically Escalated by Busroot.
## Watch Issues
This feature allows you to track the progress of an issue.
## Causes
Submit a downtime cause from a list of commonly occurring issues.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.output.industries/archive/customer-guide-to-busroot/glossary-of-busroot-menu-features-and-how-to-use-them/menu-oee-analysis/downtime-detection.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
