There are several ways to view the status and health of managed appliances. An administrator can recheck the status and reset the connection status from the Central Management System Web UI. From the Central Management System CLI, an administrator can define the following settings for status and health checks on managed appliances:
Enable/Disable—Whether status checks will be performed on all managed appliances or specific managed appliances. By default, status checks are enabled.
Interval—Time delay between the start of one check and the next check. The default is 60 seconds.
Timeout—The amount of time to wait for an appliance to send its status to Central Management System appliance. If a timeout occurs, a status failure is logged and the connection between the appliance and the Central Management System appliance is broken. The default is 30 seconds.
Force Check—Forces an immediate status check of all managed appliances, even if checking is disabled overall with the
no cmc status enablecommand.
Status Test Criteria—Enable or disable testing the status of a specific criterion (such as the fan, support key, and so on) on all managed appliances.
Note
Forced checking and status tests are not performed on a specific appliance if status checks are disabled for that appliance.
Note
See Defining status and health check settings for managed appliances using the CLI for information about changing these settings.
