Health check in Cayosoft Guardian

The Health Check feature in Cayosoft Guardian provides an automated way to assess the health of critical system components, such as system and archive databases, managed domains, tenants, domain controllers, and connection credentials. This helps ensure your environment is functioning as expected and provides early warnings for potential issues.

Running a health check

You can manually trigger a health check or configure it to run automatically on a schedule.

1. Go to Settings > Service Settings.
2. Select Health Check Settings.
3. Click Run Health Check.
4. In the System Job - Health Check, navigate to Execution History tab to see the results. These results provide detailed insights into each evaluated component.

Sending alerts with health check results

You can configure alerts to be sent automatically when the health check detects errors:

1. Use the Alerting options field to specify the alert behavior.
2. Enable Attach health check reports when sending alerts to include a full report in the email.
    
3. Exclude specific components from generating alerts.

How to disable the health check for a specific component

To skip health check evaluation for specific components such as Domain Controllers:

1. Navigate to Settings > Service Settings > Health Check Settings.
2. Click the link for the System Job – Health Check under Health check job.
3. In the job configuration pane, under the General tab, you will see a list of Workflow steps.
4. Locate the component you want to disable (e.g., Check Domain Controllers).
5. Use the toggle next to the component to disable it. Once toggled off, that component will not be evaluated during health check runs.
6. Click Save to apply changes.

NOTE: Disabling a component means it will not be checked for health issues. Use this option if you intentionally want to exclude it from routine monitoring (e.g., during maintenance or when the system is offline by design).
