Feature Requests Make "Partial connectivity issue (IPv6 only)" less ambiguous

Planned

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)

Changed status to Planned

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)" ?
