System Health Check
Proactive network monitoring systems play a pivotal role in averting any issues. NCS 1014 health check service lets you monitor physical characteristics, current processing status, and the curently utilized resources to quickly assess the condition of the device at any time. This service helps to analyze the system health by monitoring, tracking and analyzing metrics that are critical for functioning of the NCS 1014. The system health metrics are thresholds set on the device in order to monitor the usage of CPU and other system resources. The health check service is installed with the NCS 1014 RPM.
You can evaluate the system's health by examining the metric values. If these values cross or approach the set thresholds, it suggests potential problems. By default, metrics for system resources are configured with preset threshold values. You can customize the metrics to be monitored by disabling or enabling metrics of interest based on your requirement.
Each metric is tracked and compared with that of the configured threshold, and the state of the resource is classified accordingly.
The system resources metrics can be in one of these states:
-
Normal: The resource usage is less than the threshold value.
-
Minor: The resource usage is more than the minor threshold, but less than the severe threshold value.
-
Severe: The resource usage is more than the severe threshold, but less than the critical threshold value.
-
Critical: The resource usage is more than the critical threshold value.
The infrastructure services metrics can be in one of these states:
-
Normal: The resource operation is as expected.
-
Warning: The resource needs attention. For example, a warning is displayed when the FPD needs an upgrade.
