  • Health status

  • Score

  • Address

  • Product type

Score is an integer number between and including 0 and 100. The lower the value the more attention is needed from system administrators to take care of products having low score values. Calculation of the actual score uses the following factors:

  • if the instance is reachable

  • license issues such as fact of activation or expiration of the license and approaching expiry

  • if product version is the latest available version

  • if engine database is up-to-date
