The Health Events Table

The Health Monitor modules you choose to enable in your health policy run various tests to determine appliance health status. When the health status meets criteria that you specify, a health event is generated.

The table below describes the fields that can be viewed and searched in the health events table.

Health Event Fields

Module Name

Specify the name of the module which generated the health events you want to view. For example, to view events that measure CPU performance, type CPU. The search should retrieve applicable CPU Usage and CPU temperature events.

Test Name

Description

The description of the health module that generated the event. For example, health events generated when a process was unable to execute are labeled Unable to Execute.

Units

The units descriptor for the result. You can use the asterisk (*) to create wildcard searches.

For example, if the management center generates a health event when a device it is monitoring is using 80 percent or more of its CPU resources, the units descriptor is a percentage sign (%).
