### Server hardware health monitoring

For server hardware with a `Critical` or `Warning` status, the associated server profile might be in failed state, so you need to verify it as well.

### Network health monitoring

To monitor the current health of a network, navigate to the Interconnects and Logical Interconnects resources to view recent activity, alerts and notifications, and current health status.

- For interconnects, a healthy state is `Configured`

- For logical interconnects, a healthy state for stacking is `Redundantly Connected`
