You can view system health events related to selected entities within a specified time
range, using the Health history
report.
What you should know
There are three severity levels of health events:
- Error
- Warning
- Information
Almost every entity in your system can generate health events. You can choose which health events
to monitor by configuring the Health Monitor
role. For information about selecting which health events to monitor in
Config
Tool, see the Security
Center Administrator Guide.
For example, if an entity is experiencing issues, you can search for past health events that have
occurred in relation to that entity. If you want to search if there were critical errors
that happened in the system during the last week, you can filter you search only for errors,
and set a time range.
NOTE: Health events also appear in the notification tray as
system messages (
) as
they occur in real time.
To view system health events related to an entity:
- From the home page, open the Health history task.
-
Set up the query filters for your report. Choose one or more of the following
filters:
Custom fields:
Restrict the search to a predefined custom
field for the entity. This filter only appears if custom fields are
defined for the entity, and if the custom field was made visible to you
when it was created or last configured.
Event
timestamp:
Define the time range for the query. The
range can be defined for a specific period or for global time units,
such as the previous week or the previous month.
