The Web Health Console obtains events and indications from endpoints. The Web Health Console displays the health of each potential problem as a numeric value between 100 (perfect health) and zero (with zero meaning that the conditions for the corresponding event are met). Intermediate values show the percentage of occurrences currently registered with respect to the total number of occurrences needed to trigger an event. See Table 11
Table 11. Health Determination Example
| Cycle | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| CPU% | 55 | 73 | 54 | 63 | 68 |
| Occurrences or Holes | H | O | H | O | O |
| Occurrence Count | 0 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| Health % | 100 | 75 | 75 | 50 | 25 |
Table 11 gives the health percentage changes in steps of 25% because four occurrences were required to trigger an event. If the indication required five occurrences, the health percentage would have changed by steps of 20%. Resource health is determined at the indication level and passed up to the endpoint. The lowest health of any indication in a resource model is shown as the health of that resource model, and the lowest health of any resource model installed on an endpoint is shown as the health of that endpoint. For example, if one indication on one resource model that is installed on an endpoint has a health of zero, the health of the endpoint is shown as zero. The required occurrences, cycle times, thresholds, and parameters for indications are defined when the resource model is created in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Workbench.
