The Health Explorer tool allows you to view the health of an entity, for example the health of a monitored computer. Health Explorer also allows you to view the history of state changes for that object. For example, Figure 1 shows the Health Explorer for the computer Orchestrator.tailspintoys.com. You can see in the figure where the health state of the computer has changed between healthy to warning, and then from warning back to healthy.

Through Health Explorer, you can view the alerts that are present on a particular entity. Figure 2 shows the alerts that are relevant to the monitored computer Orchestrator.tailspintoys.internal. You can use Health Explorer to locate all of the monitors that are in a state that requires attention. This allows you to quickly assess and diagnose the issues with a particular computer, which might be responsible for a multitude of separate alerts.
