System Health Packages
Health packages are a little bit more difficult to organize since they cannot easily be distinguished by the software installed, as are Filter Packages.
Monitoring < 10 Servers
If you are managing a small amount of servers, for example fewer than 5-10, then it is usually easy to organize your health packages. You could either create one package with common properties (e.g. services, disk space, performance) and assign this package to all servers. If some servers have special needs (e.g. application scheduler), then you can create an additional package for that.
Monitoring > 10 Servers
To keep the total number of health package at a reasonable number, we recommend that you create one health package that includes monitoring objects which apply to all servers. For example, you will probably want to monitor installed applications and a baseline performance on all servers, so create a package called "Generic Server Health" and assign this to all servers.
For monitoring objects only needed by some servers or groups we recommend that you divide monitoring objects into multiple packages. You can then apply those packages as needed to servers and groups. Please see the pages under the System Health Monitoring chapter for more suggestions on how to organize system health packages.
