The Health Indicator monitors the internal communication processes within Switch. Under normal operation, the Health Indicator will show a green status bar. If Switch begins to experience problems communicating with internal processes due to delayed or excessive internal communication requests, the indicator bar will change to orange or red in extreme cases. However, the Health Indicator does not change due to number of jobs or the heavy processing as this does not typically threaten the stability of Switch.
In most cases when an internal process becomes unavailable or communication is lost, the Switch Watchdog will automatically restart the failed service. If the Health Indicator frequently shows orange or red, it is recommended that you review the Statistics pane for details on which Switch services are experiencing problems and may require corrective action.
