You can view system health events related to selected entities within a specified time range, using the Health history report.
What you should know
There are three severity levels of health events:
- Error
- Warning
- Information
Almost every entity in your system can generate health events. You can choose which health events to monitor by configuring the Health Monitor role. For information about selecting which health events to monitor in Config Tool, see the Security Center Administrator Guide.
For example, if an entity is experiencing issues, you can search for past health events that have
occurred in relation to that entity. If you want to search if there were critical errors
that happened in the system during the last week, you can filter you search only for errors,
and set a time range.
NOTE: Health events also appear in the notification tray as
