Overview of the Asset Health Manager Module

The Asset Health Manager module provides tools that help you evaluate the overall health of an asset (i.e., a piece of equipment or a location). Using Asset Health Manager, you can view a graphical summary of an asset's health based on information stored in various records, and then use this information to make decisions about what actions to take in order to mitigate risk.

Asset Health Manager uses health indicators to categorize an asset as having a health status of normal, warning, or alert. The module displays a summary of this information, as well as related events and policy instances, at each level of the Asset Hierarchy. Information is also available about each health indicator and its source records.

In the baseline GE Digital APM database, health indicators are created automatically to determine health statuses based on the data in the following types of records:

Measurement Location records and their linked Reading records
KPI records and their linked KPI Measurement records
OPC Tag records and the most recent reading available from the OPC Server
Health Indicator records and their linked Health Indicator Value records

Note: If other record types contain information that indicate an asset's health, an administrative user can configure health indicator mapping records in order for health indicators to be created for those records as well.
