Health checkup

What is a Health Check?

Purpose

The purpose of performing a Health Check is to identify and remove performance bottlenecks to 

enable top performance of the HP ArcSight implementation. Minor issues can result in major 

performance degradations over time, impacting system availability and user satisfaction. 

Performing regular Health Checks will identify issues, allowing them to be remediated quickly 

and ensuring continued top performance of the HP ArcSight implementation.

In a nutshell…

A Health Check consists of common administrative tasks and verifies that the ArcSight solution is configured and Performing optimally
