Default Health Policy

The management center setup process creates and applies an initial health policy, in which most—but not all—available health modules are enabled. The system also applies this initial policy to devices added to the management center.

This initial health policy is based on a default health policy, which you can neither view nor edit, but which you can copy when you create a custom health policy.

You can create a custom health policy and set it as your default health policy. The management center applies the default health policy to any managed device when you add the device to the management center. Note that you cannot delete the health policy that you have set as the default. For detailed instructions for setting a default health policy, see Set a Default Health Policy.

Upgrades and the Default Health Policy

When you upgrade the management center, any new health modules are added to all health policies, including the initial health policy, default health policy, and any other custom health policies. Usually, new health modules are added in an enabled state.
