Overview

Compliance Health Tests allow JetPatch to continuously validate the state of managed endpoints - ensuring that critical services, security configurations, and operational parameters remain expected. 

Rather than simply deploying agents, JetPatch can actively monitor what is running on each endpoint and alert when something deviates from the desired configuration.

Health tests are script-based checks executed periodically on endpoints for a specified managed agent. 

Each test reports back its status to JetPatch, which logs issues and marks affected agents in the interface for quick identification. Tests are stored in the Library and can be reused across multiple management services with different timing settings.

Examples of health tests include:

• Critical services are up and running
• SSH configuration validation
• Firewall configuration checks
• And many more

When a health monitoring script reports a problem:

• JetPatch Manager records a log entry.
• The managed agent is marked in the endpoint list with a yellow warning triangle.
