Server hardware health monitoring
For server hardware with a Critical or Warning status, the associated server profile might be
in failed state, so you need to verify it as well.

See the UI help for Server Hardware and “About
Activity” (page 189).
1. Expand the server hardware alert to see more
information. You can view alerts from the Server

2. Follow the instructions in the recommended resolution
(if any) or research the alert to correct the problem.
See the UI help for Server Profiles.3. Ensure the server profile was properly assigned to the
server hardware.
Network health monitoring

resources to view recent activity, alerts and notifications, and current health status.
• For interconnects, a healthy state is Configured
• For logical interconnects, a healthy state for stacking is Redundantly Connected

26.2.2 Best practices for monitoring health using REST APIs
To ensure the health of the managed components in your data center environment, follow these
best practices.
• Overall health monitoring
• Server hardware health monitoring
• Network health monitoring
Overall health monitoring
Monitoring step
• Filter alerts based on severity or date to view current health issues.
GET /rest/alerts?filter="severity='{UNKNOWN, OK, WARNING, CRITICAL}'"&filter="created='{YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssZ}'"
NOTE: The DISABLED severity is not applicable to alerts.
See the REST API scripting online help for more information about alerts.
• Get alerts for a specific physical resource type, such as server hardware.
GET /rest/alerts?filter="physicalResourceType='{physical_server}'"
See the REST API scripting online help for more information about server hardware.
