Editing Health Policies

In a multidomain deployment, the system displays policies created in the current domain, which you can edit. It also displays policies created in ancestor domains, which you cannot edit. To view and edit policies created in a lower domain, switch to that domain. Administrators in ancestor domains can apply health policies to devices in descendant domains, which descendant domains can use or replace with customized local policies.

Procedure

Step 1

Choose System (system gear icon) > Health > Policy .

Step 2

Click Edit (edit icon) next to the policy you want to modify.

Step 3

To edit the policy name and its description, click the Edit (edit icon) icon provided against the policy name.

Step 4

The Health Modules tab displays all the device modules and its attributes. Click the toggle button that is provided against the module and its attributes—turn on (slider enabled) or turn off (slider disabled) to enable or disable testing of health status respectively. To execute a bulk enable or disable testing on the health modules, click the Select All toggle button. For information on the modules, see Health Modules.

Note

  • The modules and attributes are flagged with the supporting appliances—FTD, CDO, or both.

  • You cannot choose to include or exclude the individual attributes of CPU and Memory modules.

Step 5

Where appropriate, set the Critical and Warning threshold percentages.

Step 6

In the Run Time Intervals tab, enter the relevant values in the fields:

  • Health Module Run Interval—The frequency for running the health modules. The minimum interval is 5 minutes.

  • Metric Collection Interval—The frequency of collecting the time series data on the device and its health modules. The device monitor reports these metrics in several predefined health monitor dashboards by default. For detailed information on the dashboard, see About Dashboards. The metric data is collected for analysis and hence no alerting is associated with it.

Step 7

Click Save.

What to do next

  • Apply the health policy to each appliance as described in Applying Health Policies. This option allows you to apply the changes and update the policy status for all affected policies.
