There are several steps to setting up health monitoring on your FireSIGHT System, as indicated in the 
following procedure:

Create health policies for your appliances. 

You can set up specific policies for each kind of appliance you have in your FireSIGHT System, enabling 
only the appropriate tests for that appliance. 

If you want to quickly enable health monitoring without customizing the monitoring behavior, you can 
apply the default policy provided for that purpose. 

For more information on setting up health policies, see 

. 

Apply a health policy to each appliance where you want to track health status. For information on the 
default health policy available for immediate application, see 

.

Optionally, configure health monitor alerts.

You can set up email, syslog, or SNMP alerts that trigger when the health status level reaches a particular 
severity level for specific health modules. 

For more information on setting up health monitor alerts, see 

After you set up health monitoring on your system, you can view the health status at any time on the 
Health Monitor page or the Health Events table view. For more information about viewing system health 
data, see the following topics:

A health policy contains configured health test criteria for several modules. You can control which health 
modules run against each of your appliances and configure the specific limits used in the tests run by 
each module. For more information on the health modules you can configure in a health policy, see 

You can create one health policy that can be applied to every appliance in your system, customize each 
health policy to the specific appliance where you plan to apply it, or use the default health policy 
provided for you. You can also import a health policy exported from another Defense Center.

When you configure a health policy, you decide whether to enable each health module for that policy. 
You also select the criteria that control which health status each enabled module reports each time it 
assesses the health of a process.
