{: shortdesc}

## Health states
{: #reservation-health-states}

See the following information to understand the health state of your reservation.

| Health state | Description |
| ------------ | ----------- |
| `ok` | No abnormal behavior was detected with the reservation. |
| `degraded` | Reservation is experiencing compromised performance, capacity, or connectivity. |
| `faulted` | Reservation is unreachable, inoperative, or otherwise entirely incapacitated. |
| `inapplicable` | The reservation health state does not apply because of the current lifecycle state. A resource with a lifecycle state of `failed` or `deleting` has a health state of inapplicable. A pending resource can also have this state (`degraded`, `faulted`, `inapplicable`, `ok`). |
