3.10. Health and Alerting
Supercharger makes a determination about the health of each object in your WEC environment beginning at the Forwarder level. Beginning at the subscription level Supercharger indicates the object’s health by the icon’s color on the dashboard.
Each subscription has an assigned Subscription Policy whose health assessment basis defines against what criteria the forwarders on that subscription should be judged.
You can find out the reasons behind any object’s health opening its viewer dialog.
You goal should be to maintain your environment with all objects showing as green. Supercharger allows you to adjust subscription health criteria so that whatever situation you define as nominal will be recognized as such by Supercharger.
If you have a collector where health cannot be obtained for whatever reason you can elect to exclude that collector from health analysis by indicating such in its viewer dialog.
Automatic Health Report via Email
If you configure Supercharger with SMTP information you do not necessarily need to visit the dashboard to know about your WEC environment’s health. Supercharger report (by default, daily, at 7AM) that lists each domain, distributed subscription, collector and subscription along with its health status color and the reasons for that status.
Alerting
Supercharger can also alert you in near real-time to changes in health on any object from Subscription up to domain. You can receive alerts via your systems management solution or directly from Supercharger by email.
The Manager checks for any health status changes across all collectors by default every 15 minutes. If the health status color of an object has changed Supercharger logs an event to the manager’s local Application event log with the following event IDs:
