Service Health Dashboard
Monitor the real-time status of platform services, hosts, and API endpoints in Private Cloud Director.
The Service Health dashboard provides a real-time view of core platform services, host connectivity, and API endpoint availability across your Private Cloud Director setup. Use it to quickly identify services that need attention and drill down to per-host details for troubleshooting.
Access the dashboard
The dashboard is accessible to users with administrator access. To open it, select the heart icon in the top-right corner of the PCD UI, next to the settings icon.
Dashboard overview
The dashboard opens to a summary view with three cards:
Service Health
Overall health of core platform services.
Host Health
Connectivity and service status across hosts.
API Endpoints Health
Availability of platform API endpoints.
Each card shows the counts of healthy, warning, and critical items, along with a status summary. Select a tab to view the details for each category.
Service Health tab
The Service Health tab lists the following platform services:
Compute Service
Handles virtual machine provisioning and management.
Image Service
Manages VM images and snapshots.
Persistent Storage Service
Provides persistent block storage for virtual machines.
Networking Service
Manages virtual networks, subnets, and routing.
Each service row displays:
Status badge
The current health state of the service.
Host counts
A count of healthy, warning, and critical hosts for that service.
Last checked
The timestamp of the most recent health check.
Next check
The timestamp of the next scheduled health check.
Status values

The service is operating normally across all hosts.
Needs Action
One or more hosts require attention. The count of affected hosts appears in the badge.
Per-host details
Select the chevron on a service row to expand it. The expanded view shows the following for each host:
Host Name
The hostname of the host running the service.
Cluster Name
The cluster the host belongs to.
Service Health
The health state of the service on that host.
Connectivity Status
The connectivity state of the host.
Role Status
Whether the service role is configured on the host.
IP Addresses
IP addresses associated with the host.
For Persistent Storage Service, the expanded view lists each configured storage backend separately with its own health status per host.
Compute Service health
The overall health of the Compute Service is determined by the percentage of hosts with the hypervisor role that are in an unhealthy state:
50% or more hosts are unhealthy
Unhealthy
More than 25% but fewer than 50% of hosts are unhealthy
Warning
25% or fewer hosts are in an offline state
Healthy
Individual host health for the Compute Service is determined as follows:
Host state is not ok
Unhealthy
Host state is ok and host is in maintenance mode
Warning
Host state is ok and Compute Service status for the host is ok
Healthy
Host state is ok and Compute Service status for the host is not ok
Unhealthy
To retrieve the Compute Service health status at the host level, run:
Image Service health
Healthy
PCD can connect to the Image Service and the service API is responding normally.
Needs Action
One or more hosts running the Image Service require attention.
Persistent Storage Service health
Healthy
The storage service on the host is operating normally.
Needs Action
One or more hosts running the Persistent Storage Service require attention.
Networking Service health
Healthy
The networking service on the host is operating normally.
Needs Action
