Health Rules
Default health rules based on several usage metrics are enabled for Server Visibility. You can modify these and set up your own health rules. Select Alert & Respond > Health Rules to view a list of the rules on the Controller.
From the Affects tab of the Health Rule wizard, you can choose to apply the Server Health Rule to:
- Subgroups (All or selected subgroups)
- Machines
- All machines in the active account
- Machines within selected subgroups
- Selected machines
- Machines whose names match certain criteria
The health rule is violated when specified critical or warning conditions are met.
Hierarchies, Groups, and Subgroups
You can apply health rules to subgroups or machines within selected subgroups. Subgroups available on the Affects tab of the Health Rules wizard are machines that are grouped into hierarchies based on the Machine Hierarchy Property configuration for the Machine Agent. See Machine Agent Hierarchy.
The subgroups are the leaf group a machine is in. For example, there are three machines:
- A is in group Data Center 1|Rack 1
- B is in group Data Center 1|Rack 2
- C is in group Data Center 1|Rack 1
A and C are in the same subgroup, B is in a different one.
