Proactive and On-Demand System Health Checks

System Health is used to check the status of critical functionality across your system and assists Exabeam engineers with troubleshooting. Exabeam provides visibility on the backend data pipeline via Health Checks. Graphs and tables on the page visually represent the health status for all of the key systems, as well as indexes and the appliance, so you are always able to check statuses at a glance and track health over time.

Proactive health checks run automatically and periodically in the background.

On-demand health checks can be initiated manually and are run immediately. All newly gathered health check statuses and data is updated in the information panes on the page. All proactive and on-demand health checks are listed on the Health Checks page. Proactive health checks are visible by any user in your organization. Only users with administrator permission can reach the page.
