How can you monitor PCE health?

Monitoring the health of the Policy Compute Engine (PCE) is crucial for ensuring a secure and efficient environment. Configuring syslog within the PCE software allows for real-time logging and monitoring of events, which provides critical insights into the functioning and performance of the PCE. Syslog captures system activities, errors, and other significant messages, enabling administrators to detect issues promptly and maintain optimal operation.

This method of monitoring facilitates proactive responses to potential problems, ensuring that the PCE continues to operate smoothly and that any anomalies or undesirable events can be addressed quickly. The centralized logging from syslog can also simplify troubleshooting and help maintain compliance with organizational standards related to security and operational health. Other options, while they may provide some insights into PCE health, do not offer the immediacy and detail of syslog logging directly from the PCE software.
