MTTR = Total Recovery Time / Number of Incidents
What is MTTR?
Mean Time To Recovery (MTTR) is the average time it takes to restore a system after a failure. It's a critical metric for measuring incident response effectiveness.
MTTR = (Sum of all incident recovery times) / (Number of incidents)
MTTR Benchmarks by Industry
| Industry | Good MTTR | Average MTTR |
|---|---|---|
| SaaS / Cloud Services | < 1 hour | 2-4 hours |
| E-commerce | < 30 minutes | 1-2 hours |
| Financial Services | < 15 minutes | 30-60 minutes |
| Healthcare Tech | < 15 minutes | 30-90 minutes |
| Media / Content | < 2 hours | 4-8 hours |

MTTR vs Other Metrics
- MTTD (Mean Time To Detect): Average time to discover an incident.
- MTTA (Mean Time To Acknowledge): Average time for a human to acknowledge the alert.
- MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): Average time between incidents.
Pro tip: Reducing MTTA with fast, reliable alerts (like OpsPulse's Telegram notifications) directly improves MTTR because your team starts fixing issues sooner.
