Overview

This is a new feature that was added in the 2026.1 release.

1. As an Administrator user, launch Digital Hive
   
2. Click on your Avatar (user initials in the top right or bottom left corners) and click Manage Digital Hive
   
   
   
3. On the left hand side, expand the System section and click on Health
   
   
   
4. Click Configure Health Check to create a new test matrix
   
   
   
5. This will bring up a screen with all your existing connectors listed on it 
   
   
6. Enable the desired connectors by enabling each connector 
7. The Health Check allows you to select up to 5 artifacts to include in the test. Click the gear icon  beside each connector to expose the connector settings 
8. Click Add Content to select the content to be tested
    
   
9. Browse the connector content and select a report or dashboard to include by clicking on the corresponding square in the object header
    
10. Press the CHOOSE object name button in the upper right-hand corner
    
11. This will return you to the connector settings and the selected object will be present
    
    
12. Each piece of content can be tested to see if it reachable (which means that it's where it should be and that the system can access it) or whether it can be embedded. Using the dropdown select either Reachable or Can Embed if that artifact is embedded on a Hive page
    
13. Repeat steps 8-12 for additional content to test, up to a maximum of 5 artifacts per connector
    
14. Click X to close the Health Settings dialog
    
15. Configure the test content for each connector (repeat steps 8-14) to complete the test matrix
16. Ensure that the proper Digital Hive domain URL is present in the Set up the domain host to embed content parameter
    
    
17. For this first test, we'll run the report interactively, so click SAVE
    
18. Click Run Test and you will notice the results populate
    
    
19. To see the results of a particular test, hover over the  icon
    
    
20. By default, only the test warnings or errors will be visible. To see the complete list of results, click on the Show pending and successful results link in the test summary
    
    

Some connectors may not be available for individual testing, like the Databricks connector used in the example above. In these cases, the configuration options will be greyed out.

Automating health checks

1. Open the Manage Health Check Settings dialog by clicking on the gear icon 
2. Within the Health Check settings, you can define a schedule for the test execution in this section
   
    
3.  Click on the pencil icon to create the schedule
   
4. Using the frequency, day, and time drop downs, define the desired schedule
   
   
   
5. Press SAVE to commit the changes
   

Although it is permitted, it is advisable to NOT schedule the testing to run every hour. Things don't change frequently enough to warrant an hourly test.

Do not schedule the Health Check to execute at the same time as the content is indexing as this may impact performance of both operations 

When running health checks through a schedule, it may be desirable to email the results to an administrator or group. To accomplish this, configure the recipients in the Who should receive health check reports section, and then save the configuration.

To leverage the emailing of health check results feature, an email server must first be defined. Consult the Configuring an email server connection document.
