Apply a Health Policy
When you apply a health policy to an appliance, the health tests for all the modules you enabled in the policy automatically monitor the health of the processes and hardware on the appliance. Health tests then continue to run at the intervals you configured in the policy, collecting health data for the appliance and forwarding that data to the management center.
If you enable a module in a health policy and then apply the policy to an appliance that does not require that health test, the health monitor reports the status for that health module as disabled.
If you apply a policy with all modules disabled to an appliance, it removes all applied health policies from the appliance, so no health policy is applied. However, you must have at least one health policy assigned to an appliance.
When you apply a different policy to an appliance that already has a policy applied, expect some latency in the display of new data based on the newly applied tests.
