system health
Infrastructure wellness check
System health is the overall condition and performance of a computer system, network, or infrastructure.
Like bodily health, it encompasses multiple indicators—processing speed, memory usage, error rates, security status—that together reveal whether something is functioning well or showing signs of trouble.
IT professionals monitor system health through dashboards and automated alerts: The system health check flagged high CPU usage.
The term extends to any complex operational system: We run quarterly assessments of our supply chain's system health.
