Manage System Health Thresholds
The System Health tab provides information about the status of the entire system based on the response time
of the various servers and databases in the system. The response time limits can be set in the application.
You must have the Super User role to perform this task.
You can set the response time limits in milliseconds for vCenter Chargeback, vCenter Chargeback database,
vCenter Server, and vCenter Server database. The response time limits define the Normal, Warning, and Alert
latency ranges.
Procedure
1
In the Settings tab, click System Health Thresholds.
2
In the vCenter Chargeback Server section, set the Normal and Alert response time limits.
The Normal, Warning, and Alert latency ranges are defined as follows:
Option
Description
Normal
The Normal latency range is (0, normal response time limit). The default range
is (0, 30000). If the response time is in the Normal latency range, the server
is responding fine.
Warning
The Warning latency range is (normal response time limit + 1, alert response time
limit). The default range is (30001, 120000). If the response time is in the
Warning latency range, the server is responding slowly and might need some
attention. The slow response could also be attributed to network congestion.
Alert
The Alert latency range is (alert response time limit + 1, ...). The default range
is (120001, ...). If the response time is in the Alert latency range, the user must
take immediate action to rectify the issue.
3
In the vCenter Chargeback Database section, set the Normal and Alert response time limits.
The Normal, Warning, and Alert latency ranges for the vCenter Chargeback database are defined using
these limits.
4
In the vCenter Server section, set the Normal and Alert response time limits.
The Normal, Warning, and Alert latency ranges for the vCenter Server are defined using these limits.
5
In the vCenter Server Database section, set the Normal and Alert response time limits.
The Normal, Warning, and Alert latency ranges for the vCenter Server database are defined using these
limits.
6
Click Apply.
The response time limits and the corresponding ranges set on this page are used on the System Health tab to
show the health of the different servers and databases.
