Enable and disable health management
Overview
Health management monitoring is enabled by default. We can enable or disable health management monitoring.
The health monitor uses health policies, which is a combination of health conditions and actions. Health conditions define triggers from which the system can protect itself, for example, a memory leak. Health actions are the specific steps the system takes when a health condition is triggered. For example, with a memory leak condition, the health action can be to restart the associated servers. A number of predefined health conditions are installed with the product. Use the predefined health conditions to create default health policies. In addition to these broad default health policies, we can define specific policies that apply for the environment.
Depending on our administrative role, we are allowed specific privileges when configuring the autonomic managers.
Monitor: Can view the information. Operator: Can view the information on the configuration tab. Can change the settings on the runtime tab. Configurator: Can change the configuration but not the runtime settings. Administrator: Has all privileges.
