Note

If the Health Status is Ready instead of Up, the Security Server has not received any events from the virtual machines. This means that the virtual machines are not added to a security group or that they have no policies applied to them in the NSX-T Manager.

The Security Server status can be checked in your selected server, in the Network > Cloud Workloads > VMWare Inventory > vCenter page.

If all Product details are listed without any critical issues, the Security Server is active.
