Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends the following best practices to monitor the health of the resources in your environment.
General health monitoring steps
NOTE: You can view health and alerts on all managed servers and some monitored servers. See the
HPE OneView Support
Matrix for more information on monitored server hardware.

Navigate to the
Activity screen and filter activities, using the filtering options that work best for the situation.
You can also start from the
Dashboard screen to see alerts for specific resources.
Navigate to a specific resource screen to view the specific activities for that resource.
On the resource screen, verify the state of the resource instances through health status icons.
Investigate each resource instance with a warning or error status.
Expand critical and warning alerts to see their full descriptions, and click
Event details to view additional information about one or more events that caused the alert.
Follow the instructions in the recommended resolution (if any) or research the alert to correct the problem.
NOTE: If an alert is
Active and no action is required, you can clear the alert. If an alert is
Locked, you cannot clear the alert without fixing the condition that caused it.
In the case where the locked alerts are not automatically cleared even though the issue is resolved, you can clear the locked alert using the REST API
PUT /rest/alerts/{id}?force=true.

Enclosure health monitoring
The enclosure health includes the status of enclosure infrastructure, such as fans, power supplies, appliances,
HPE BladeSystem Onboard Administrator, or Frame Link Module. To check the current health status of an enclosure, navigate to
menu. For enclosures, a healthy state is
Monitored or
Managed.
The health of an enclosure does not include the status of contained resources, such as blades and interconnects.
