Check Overall System Health of vCenter ServerLast Updated December 16, 2024
vCenter Server
vCenter Server
provides a composite health indicator that enables you to test a
single value that represents the health of all system components. This procedure shows how
to test the composite health indicator. Verify that you have an active authenticated session
with
vCenter Server
. This procedure
assumes that the session ID is present in the security context of a stub
configuration. The value of the overall system health indicator
reflects the strongest trouble indication among the
vCenter Server
components. If any component has a red
indicator, the
overall system health indicator is red
, else if any
component has an orange
indicator, the overall system health indicator is orange
, and so on. A
gray
value for any component indicates that data for the subsystem is unknown. If
one or more components have a
gray
value, but all other subsystems are
green
,
then the overall system health indicator is
gray
rather than
green
.
However, if any component has a definite trouble indication, the overall system
health indicator reflects the strongest trouble indication among the
components.
- Create an interface stub or REST path that uses the stub configuration.
- Invoke thehealth.systemmethod.
- Format and display the resulting value.
