What should be done if a PCE health status is critical?

When the PCE (Policy Compute Engine) health status is critical, it is essential to immediately investigate the underlying issues. A critical health status indicates that there are potentially severe problems affecting the performance or stability of the system, which could lead to a failure in security policies or data protection.

Taking immediate action allows teams to proactively diagnose and resolve issues before they escalate further, potentially impacting the organization's security posture. Addressing the situation promptly ensures that any risks associated with a compromised health status are mitigated and that the system can return to a stable operational state.

In contrast, delaying the investigation or waiting for scheduled maintenance could allow critical issues to persist or worsen, leading to more significant operational or security challenges. Similarly, continuing normal operations or notifying the support team without immediate action could result in unaddressed vulnerabilities. Cancelling pending updates might not address the underlying issues affecting health status and could deny essential improvements or fixes. Therefore, swift investigation is crucial when a PCE health status is critical.
