A Device Health Bar chart is displayed below the parameter charts, displaying the severity counts based only on critical, major, and minor events and belonging only to open, acknowledged, and assigned statuses. If there are zero severities, a green bar is shown indicating a good health and a non-zero number displays a segmented bar chart with the event count against each severity as shown in these figures.
On the parameter charts, click a data point to open the Monitor Details page and on the Device Health bar chart as shown in the figure.
On the Device Health chart, clicking the segmented chart data opens the Device Details page as shown in the figure. However, a Device Health with a green bar is not clickable.

Info
It is possible that a selected device was deleted from the TrueSight server after it was selected in this dashlet. In that case, a message (The device appears to be deleted and cannot be loaded) is displayed, and no available parameters are displayed for the device. There are two possible scenarios in this case:
- The user did not intentionally delete the device: click the (Change) link and select the same device again.
- The user intentionally deleted the device: delete and reconfigurethedashletagain.
From the Available Parameters (Monitor:Type::Monitor:Attributes), you can select up to four parameters.
The selected parameters are moved into the Selected Parameters section and the (Change) link next to the device name is replaced with a (Clear the parameters list to change the device) message. See the figure for an example.
Note
- To change the list of selected parameters, you must clear one or more parameters from either the Available Parameters or the Selected Parameters section, and select a different set of parameters from the Available Parameters section.
- To change the device, first clear all the four parameters. After you clear them, the (Change) link reappears next to the device name.
