Server hardware health monitoring

For server hardware with a Critical or Warning status, the associated server profile might be in failed state, so you need to verify it as well.

Monitoring step Related information

1.Expand the server hardware alert to see more information. You can view alerts from the Server Hardware screen, Activity screen, or the Dashboard screen.

2.Follow the instructions in the recommended resolution (if any) or research the alert to correct the problem.

3.Ensure the server profile was properly assigned to the server hardware.

See the UI help for Server Hardware and “About activities” (page 173).

See the UI help for Server Profiles.

Network health monitoring

To monitor the current health of a network, navigate to the Interconnects and Logical Interconnects resources to view recent activity, alerts and notifications, and current health status.

•For interconnects, a healthy state is Configured

•For logical interconnects, a healthy state for stacking is Redundantly Connected

Monitoring step

1.View the activities and states for logical interconnects.

View the health of Downlink ports and Uplink ports on the Interconnects screen. View the Stacking mode of the interconnects on the Logical Interconnects screen.

2.Follow the instructions in the recommended resolution (if any) or research the alert to correct the problem.

See the UI help for Logical Interconnects.

24.2.2 Best practices for monitoring health using REST APIs

To ensure the health of the managed components in your data center environment, follow these best practices.

•Overall health monitoring

•Server hardware health monitoring

•Network health monitoring

Overall health monitoring

Monitoring step

•Filter alerts based on severity or date to view current health issues.

GET /rest/alerts?filter="severity='{UNKNOWN, OK, WARNING, CRITICAL}'"&filter="created='{YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssZ}'"

NOTE: The DISABLED severity is not applicable to alerts.

See the REST API scripting chapter in the online help for more information about alerts.

•Get alerts for a specific physical resource type, such as server hardware.

GET /rest/alerts?filter="physicalResourceType='{physical_server}'"

See the REST API scripting chapter in the online help for more information about server hardware.
