ACS System Health

When ACS evaluates this threshold, it examines whether any system health parameters have exceeded the specified threshold in the specified time interval up to the previous 60 minutes. These health parameters include percentage of CPU utilization, percentage of memory consumption, and so on.

If any of the parameters exceed the specified threshold, an alarm is triggered. By default, the threshold applies to all ACS instances in your deployment. If you want, you can limit the check to just a single ACS instance.

Choose this category to define threshold criteria based on the system health of ACS. Modify the fields in the Criteria tab as described in Table 12-18.
