Possibly Wounded URLs
The Possibly Wounded URLs report in Osiris
This report shows you URLs that have had steady traffic over a 2 month baseline, but then dropped to 0 over a configurable number of days (5, by default). The idea of this to identify URLs that might be blockd, unpublished or generally in bad technical shape somehow. It's not normal for a URL to go from "regularly earning traffic" straight to 0.
This is a surprisingly difficult universal query to write, simply because some sites have way more day-to-day variance than others, and some URLs even more than the sites. In other words, there may be perfectly healthy URLs that stop getting organic traffic for 4 days, and then it simply picks up again normally.
So what you're looking at here you should think of as "a list of URLs you might want to quickly check on" rather than URLs for which something is definitely wrong.
