Monitoring system health by using the mmhealth command

Every service that is hosted on an IBM Storage Scale node has its own health monitoring service. All the subcomponents like the file system or network interfaces are monitored through the monitoring service of their main component. Only the subcomponents of CES service such as NFS, SMB, Object, and authentication have their own health monitors. The mmhealth command gets the health details from these monitoring services. The role of a node in monitoring determines the components that need to be monitored. This is an internal node role, and a node can have more than one role. For example, a CES node can also be a node with file systems and performance monitoring. The role of the node also determines the monitoring service that is required on a specific node. For example, you do not need a CES monitoring on a non-CES node. The monitoring services are only started if a specific node role is assigned to the node. Every monitoring service includes at least one monitor.
