Excluding Health Policy Modules

You can exclude individual health policy modules on appliances. You may want to do this to prevent events from the module from changing the status for the appliance to warning or critical.

After the exclusion settings take effect, the appliance shows the number of modules being excluded in the device from health monitoring.

Tip

Make sure that you keep track of individually excluded modules so you can reactivate them when you need them. You may miss necessary warning or critical messages if you accidentally leave a module disabled.

Procedure

Step 1

Choose System (system gear icon) > Health > Exclude.

Step 2

Click Edit (edit icon) next to the appliance you want to modify.

Step 3

In the Exclude Health Modules dialog box, by default, all the modules of the device are excluded from health monitoring. Certain modules are applicable to specific devices only; for more information, see Health Modules.

Step 4

To specify the duration of the exclusion for the device, from the Exclude Period drop-down list, select the duration.

Step 5

To choose modules to be excluded from health monitoring, click the Enable Module Level Exclusion link. The Exclude Health Modules dialog box displays all the modules of the device. The modules that are not applicable for the associated health policies are disabled by default. To exclude a module, perform the following:

  1. Click the Slider (slider icon) button next to the desired module.

  2. To specify the duration of the exclusion for the selected modules, from the Exclude Period drop-down list, select the duration.

Step 6

If you select an Exclude Period other than Permanent, for your exclusion configuration, you can choose to automatically delete the configuration when it expires. To enable this setting, check the Auto-delete expired configurations check box.

Step 7

Click OK.

Step 8

In the device exclusion main page, click Apply.
