Overview
Details
The Splunk Health Assistant Add-on lets you download and install new health check items as they become available for the monitoring console in Splunk Enterprise. The add-on is updated with new health check items independently of Splunk Enterprise releases, which lets you update and monitor your deployment with the latest health checks, without waiting for a Splunk Enterprise release or requesting help from Splunk Support.
You can download the the Splunk Health Assistant Add-on directly through the monitoring console UI. This installs the latest version of the add-on in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps and automatically adds the new health checks to the Health Check page in the monitoring console. No restart is required. Or, you can manually download the add-on and install it using the app management page or command line if your splunk instance cannot access Splunkbase, for example, due to firewall restrictions.
