To configure Advanced Malware Protection health module settings:

: Admin/Maint

1. In the Health Policy Configuration page, select Advanced Malware Protection.

The Health Policy Configuration — Advanced Malware Protection page 

appears.

2. Select On for the Enabled option to enable use of the module for health status 

testing.

3. You have three options:

To save your changes to this module and return to the Health Policy 

page, click Save Policy and Exit.

To return to the Health Policy page without saving any of your settings 

for this module, click Cancel.

To temporarily save your changes to this module and switch to another 

module’s settings to modify, select the other module from the list at the 

left of the page. If you click Save Policy and Exit when you are done, all 

changes you made will be saved; if you click Cancel, you discard all 

changes.

You must apply the health policy to the appropriate appliances if you want 

your settings to take effect. See 

 on page 2228 for 

more information.

Configuring Appliance Heartbeat Monitoring

: Any

The Defense Center receives heartbeats from its managed devices once every 

two minutes or every 200 events, whichever comes first, as an indicator that the 

device is running and communicating properly with the Defense Center. Use the 

Appliance Heartbeat health status module to track whether the Defense Center 

receives heartbeats from managed appliances. If the Defense Center does not 

detect a heartbeat from a device, the status classification for this module changes 

to Critical. That status data feeds into the health monitor.

To configure Appliance Heartbeat health module settings:

: Admin/Maint

1. In the Health Policy Configuration page, select Appliance Heartbeat. 

The Health Policy Configuration — Appliance Heartbeat page appears.

2. Select On for the Enabled option to enable use of the module for health status 

testing.
