Use the instance-name\conf\health.config file, a JSON formatted file, to customize what the HealthScanner reports for each instance. There are settings for the overall health score and thresholds at the top. Individual probes have unique values in the subsequent entries.

  1. Open the instance-name\conf\health.config file in Notepad++ or another JSON formatting text editor.
    Note: The overall weight, the marginal and the critical values appear at the top for Whole Server Health .Values above marginal are green. Values between marginal and critical are yellow and values below critical are red.
  2. Locate the Transports Health details, in particular the REST Ping Health details. The weight is .33333 of the overall Transports Health score.
    Note: If you are only using one transport type on a server, you may opt to change these settings. For example, if only two transports are used then those transports would each be a weight of .50 and the third transport would be 0. If the server will support services on all three transports it should be kept the same.
  3. Close the file without saving changes.
  4. To learn more about the available settings and specific probes, review the instance-name\conf\health.config.README file.
