You can monitor the current status of different types of entities, and investigate
health issues they might have, using the System status report.
What you should know
Use the System status report to monitor your system. For example, if you have a camera that is
not working, you can select the camera entity in the System status task,
and then diagnose why it is offline. From the System status task, you can
also launch the Health history task and generate a health report to
investigate further.
When monitoring Routes, a Redirector must be configured on each network to be
able to detect the network capabilities and display the current status.
