__SHOWFACTBOX__
A solution’s manageability, denoted as a single [[Has type::string]], determines how difficult or easy it will be to keep a system operational. Standardized safeguards (monitoring and alerting) can help to enhance manageability, whilst consideration must be given to the additional expertise needed by system administrators, as well as the standardization and complexity of managed service interfaces and tools.

Defined values for Manageability:
{| class="table" style="text-align:center" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"
!style="background:#{{BGColour03}};"|ordinal
!style="background:#{{BGColour03}};"|value
!style="background:#{{BGColour03}};"|meaning
|-
|{{QAlevelordinal|qa=Manageability|level=NS}}
|[[allows value::NS]]
|[[Quality Attribute NS|{{QAleveldescription|qa=Manageability|level=NS}}]]
|-
|{{QAlevelordinal|qa=Manageability|level=Best-Effort}}
|[[allows value::Best-Effort]]
|[[Manageability Best-Effort|{{QAleveldescription|qa=Manageability|level=Best-Effort}}]]
|-
|{{QAlevelordinal|qa=Manageability|level=Medium}}
|[[allows value::Medium]]
|[[Manageability Medium|{{QAleveldescription|qa=Manageability|level=Medium}}]]
|-
|{{QAlevelordinal|qa=Manageability|level=High}}
|[[allows value::High]]
|[[Manageability High|{{QAleveldescription|qa=Manageability|level=High}}]]
|}

The table below provides an overview of these classes and the provisions that should be made to get a facility or Product rated in a certain class. Note: the listed provisions for logging and monitoring have both an internal and an external component. An '''internal''' component or "agent" makes it possible for a facility to act as a source of data for a centralized logging or monitoring management system, the '''central''' component. When applying a provision to an infrastructure facility during the design process, not only the internal component should be taken into account, but the central component as well.
