# Health

Use the **Health** settings of a role to change how the health score is calculated on systems that use the role. These settings override the default health configuration for those systems. You can turn off a health impact category and change the threshold values for each category.

## Change the Health Settings for a Role

1. Go to **Configure** > **System Configuration** > **Roles**.
2. Click the lock icon in the upper-right corner to unlock Configure for editing.
3. Select the role.
4. From the **Additional Settings** list, select **Health**.

1. To turn off a health impact category, clear its **Check …** setting. All **Check …** settings are selected by default.
2. To change a threshold, enter a new value in the matching **Limit …** setting. The default thresholds are in the table below.

| Setting | Default |
| --- | --- |
| **Limit CPU Percentage** | 0.90 |
| **Limit CPU Queue Length** | 1 |
| **Limit Disk Ops** | 5 |
| **Limit Disk Queue Length** | 1 |
| **Limit Disk Queue Time** | 10 |
| **Limit Disk Service Time** | 20 |
| **Limit Disk Time** | 0.8 |
| **Limit Disk Xfer** | 20 |
| **Limit Hardware Percent Interrupt Time** | 0.10 |
| **Limit Latency Gateway** | 75 |
| **Limit Latency Home Directory** | 100 |
| **Limit Latency Sessions** | 200 |
| **Limit Memory** | 50000000 (agents 10.11 and earlier) |
| **Limit Memory Percentage** | 0.20 |
| **Limit Network Packet Rate** | 100 |
| **Limit Network ReXmit Rate** | 0.05 |
| **Limit Network Utilization** | 0.7 |
| **Limit Startup Application Load Time** | 5000 |
| **Limit Startup Session Time** | 30000 |
| **Limit Virtual Machine Memory Ballooned** | 0 |
| **Limit Virtual Machine Ready Time** | 5% |
| **Limit Virtual Memory Commit Ratio** | 0.9 |
| **Limit Wifi Signal Quality** | 50 |
3. (Optional) In **Health V2 Retention Period**, enter how many days health data is kept. The default is 30 days.

> [!CAUTION]
> **WARNING**: Systems that use the role delete health data older than the retention period once a day. If you shorten the period, the older data is deleted at the next daily cleanup. Health data that a system has not uploaded yet is lost.
4. Click **Save Changes**.

Systems that use the role apply the change the next time they read their configuration. To apply it right away, run **Read Configuration** on those systems. See [Operations: Command Dashboard](/documentation/docs/operations-command-dashboard).

For what each health impact category measures, see [Impact Categories](/documentation/docs/impact-categories).
