You must apply the health policy to the appropriate devices if you want your settings to take effect. See 

 for more information.

Any

Use the Health Monitor Process module to monitor the health of the health monitor on a Defense Center 
by generating alerts when too many minutes elapse between health events received from monitored 
appliances. 

For example, if a Defense Center (

myrtle.example.com

) monitors a device (

dogwood.example.com

), 

you apply a health policy with the Health Monitor Process module enabled to 

myrtle.example.com

. The 

Health Monitor Process module then reports events that indicate how many minutes have elapsed since 
the last event was received from 

dogwood.example.com

.

You can configure the elapsed duration between events, in minutes, that causes an alert to be generated. 
If the wait exceeds the number of minutes configured in the Warning Minutes since last event limit, the 
status classification for that module changes to Warning. If the wait exceeds the Critical Minutes since 
last event limit, the status classification for that module changes to Critical. That status data feeds into 
the health monitor.

The maximum number of minutes you can set for either limit is 144, and the Critical limit must be higher 
than the Warning limit. The minimum number of minutes is 5.
