Default status propagation models

The service model provides the following default status propagation models:

• DIRECT–Consumer component depends on the provider's services to the extent that its status is the same as the provider's.
• INCREASING–Consumer component is overly dependent on the provider. When a problem occurs, the consumer's status degrades faster than the provider's does.
• DECREASING–Consumer component can function without provider's services. When a problem occurs, the consumer's status is less degraded than the provider's.
• JUST_WARNING–Propagates the status of a provider component so that any value less than OK maps to NONE, OK maps to OK, and any value greater than OK maps to WARNING.
• JUST_INFO–Propagates the status of a provider component so that any value less than INFO maps to NONE, and any value greater or equal to INFO maps to INFO.

The following table describes how status propagation occurs for a specific model.
