Define health policy workload-based properties

Use this page to create health policies, which are used to perform a variety of health based assessments on clusters, dynamic clusters, and application server instances running on nodes. To view this administrative console page, click Operational Policies > Health Policies > New.

Health policies apply to the members of the policy. You can assign a numerical request value to your workload-based policy. Members of a policy can be clusters, dynamic clusters, and application server instances running on nodes. In the case of dynamic clusters, regardless of the health policy you are using, the minimum number of dynamic cluster instances remains up and running.
