Configuring health indicators using the Health Center

The Health Center provides graphical interfaces to view, update, and reset health indicator configurations. The configuration for health indicators is stored in the health monitor within the instance.

1. To configure health indicators using the Health Center:
   1. Select the instance whose health indicators you want to configure.
   2. From the Selected menu, or from the right-click menu, click Configure then Health Indicator Settings. The Health Indicator Configuration Launchpad opens.
   3. Each level of configuration settings that can be updated has a button on the launchpad. Select the button for the level of configuration that you want to view, update, or reset. Each button launches a Health Indicator Configuration window at the chosen level of configuration settings.
   4. To update the health indicator settings, select the row of the health indicator in the Current health indicator settings table.
   5. From the Select menu, or from the right-click menu, select Edit. The Configure Health Indicator notebook opens and displays the following information:
      • A description of the health indicator is provided by clicking Tell Me More.
      • The evaluation of the health indicator can be enabled and disabled using the Evaluate check box.
        Note: The Evaluate flag can also be disabled from the Health Center Alerts View for current alerts through the right-click menu option on a current alert. This option will disable the evaluation of the health indicator on the next refresh of the indicator in the health monitor. When selecting Disable evaluation for an alert in the Health Center, the evaluation flag is set to false for the health indicator, but the alert will not be removed from the Alerts view until the following events take place:

        • The health monitor refresh interval for that particular health indicator is reached
        • The health monitor refreshes the health indicator evaluation
        • The Health Center refreshes its view of status
      • On the Alert page, for threshold-based health indicators, the warning and alarm thresholds can be updated. The sensitivity for any health indicator can also be set on this page.
      • On the Actions page, a task or script action can be selected to run when an alert occurs. Actions can be configured to run on warning or alarm conditions for threshold-based health indicators or on any non-normal condition for state-based health indicators. You can enable or disable the execution of actions by selecting or deselecting the Enable actions check box. To add, update, or remove task or script actions, use the buttons beside the Script actions and Task actions tables.
