Active Health System overview
The HPE Active Health System (AHS) monitors and records changes in the server hardware and system
configuration on every HPE Gen8, Gen9, and Gen10 server that is released with iLO. AHS assists in
diagnosing problems and delivering rapid resolution when system failures occur. AHS does not collect
information about your operations, finances, customers, employees, partners, or datacenter (for example, IP
addresses, host names, user names, and passwords). The AHS log holds up to 1 GB of data. When this limit
is reached, new data is written over the oldest data in the log.
Examples of data collected include:
• Server model and serial number
• Processor model and speed
• Storage capacity and speed
• Memory capacity and speed
• Firmware/BIOS and Driver versions and settings

NOTE:
AHS complies with Hewlett Packard Enterprise data privacy standards and policies and does not collect
User accounts, passwords, or complete memory/crash dumps.

AHS collects information from seven key providers:

• Integrated Lights-Out (iLO)
• Onboard Administrator (OA)
• Agentless Management Service (AMS)
• Network Interface Controller (NIC)
• Complex Programmable Logic Drive (CPLD)
• System ROM
• Smart Array

Active Health System Viewer

Active Health System Viewer (AHSV) is an online tool used to read, diagnose, and resolve server issues
quickly using AHS uploaded data. AHSV provides Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommended repair actions
based on experience and best practices.

What is the typical time to upload an .ahs log file for

viewing?
• Upload and parse times vary based on the size of the log file and the content. In general, times upload or
display the file depend on the size. You can expect log files of less than 10 MB to load in about one
minute. Log files of 20 MG take about two minutes. Files of 200 MB can take upwards of 20 minutes to
complete the processes.
• When creating the
.ahs
logs, consider the date range you select for creation. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you
use the default date range of seven days. By decreasing the date range, the size of the log file decreases.
