Configuring Health Monitoring

Procedure

Step 1

Determine which health modules you want to monitor as discussed in Health Modules.

You can set up specific policies for each kind of appliance, enabling only the appropriate tests for that appliance.

Tip

To quickly enable health monitoring without customizing the monitoring behavior, you can apply the default policy provided for that purpose.

Step 2

Apply a health policy to each appliance where you want to track health status as discussed in Creating Health Policies.

Step 3

(Optional.) Configure health monitor alerts as discussed in Creating Health Monitor Alerts.

You can set up email, syslog, or SNMP alerts that trigger when the health status level reaches a particular severity level for specific health modules.
