# View the System Health Dashboard

The System Health dashboard provides a single place from which you can quickly determine the health of the system. You can also access hardware information.

## About this task

The System Health section displays values for the following five high-level health or performance metrics: System Utilization, Configuration, Capacity, Storage Group (SG) Response Time, and Service Level Compliance. It also displays an overall health score that is based on these five categories. The overall system health score is based on the lowest health score out of the categories System Utilization, Configuration, Capacity, SG Response Time, and Service Level Compliance. See Understanding the system health score for details on how these scores are calculated. The health score is calculated every five minutes.

| NOTE: The Health score values for Hardware, SG Response, and service level compliance are not real time. These scores are based on values within the last hour.

The Hardware section shows the director count for the directors and the available port count on the system. An alert status is indicated through a colored bell beside the title of the highest level alert in that category. If no alerts are present, a green tick is displayed.
