Introduction

The Application Health Dashboard in Control Center gives an overview of the alert status of the whole application landscape of your company. Here you can see all the alerts of the production environments of the apps deployed on your Mendix Cloud and Mendix Cloud Dedicated.

On the top of the page, you can see the following numbers:

  • Environment down – This is the number of the environments for which a runtime heartbeat has not been received for over five minutes.
  • Environments with critical alerts – This is the number of the environment with critical alerts.
  • Environments with warning alerts – This is the number of the environments with warning alerts.

On the list below, apps are ordered in the following order: environments with the most critical alerts are placed at the top, followed by environments with the most warning alerts, and then environments with no alerts.

You can use the search box to search for an app in the list using the app name or app ID. The list can also be filtered on Alert Type and Alert Level.

The list shows the following information:
