Monitoring System Health 7
The System Health tab acts as a dashboard, providing you with information about and status of the entire
system. Only a user with Super User role has access to this tab.
The dashboard shows colored status indicators next to the URL for each server and service. The significance
of the colors is as is described in the table Table 7-1.
Table 7-1. Significance of Dashboard Status Indicator Colors
Color Significance
Green Normal
The response time within the acceptable range.
Yellow Warning
The response time is beyond the acceptable range but not too high to be a cause of serious concern.
Red Alert
The response time is too high or the application is not functioning. You must take immediate action. A
very high response time might cause the application to respond slowly or become unresponsive.
The response time ranges can be defined in the system. You can change these settings from the Settings tab.
To know more about response time settings, refer to “Manage System Health Thresholds,” on page 33.
The information on the page is classified into six sections. The different sections and the corresponding
information displayed is listed in the table Table 7-2.
