Introduction

The Health Monitoring feature tracks the performance and health of resources in the enhanced UI of the Topology Maps feature. You will find additional features on the new UI.

OpsRamp has introduced a comprehensive health monitoring feature. By leveraging the templates assigned to each node, this functionality delivers real-time statistics about the health and performance of nodes. This enables you to identify and address potential issues.

A particularly valuable aspect of this update is the glimpse it offers into node alert statistics. Each node now provides a snapshot of its alert status, allowing you to quickly assess any critical alerts that might require your attention.

Use the HEALTH MONITORING toggle button to view the metrics of a node.

Availability - Node

You can monitor the nodes' health on the Topology dashboard. A unique color distinguishes each severity level. Using color-coded indicators, the dashboard indicates when a critical or warning alert is generated.

In all views, the system applies color codes to alert you to areas requiring attention.

If you hover your cursor over any time point on the node, information such as CPU and Memory percentage will be displayed in the tooltip.

Alert count - Node

The topology map displays nodes alert counts on the topology dashboard. When a critical or warning alert is generated, the number of alerts per severity level is displayed at that instant.

When you click on the alert count, you will be redirected to the alerts page. You can click on each alert and take necessary action such as suppress, acknowledge, or create an incident.
