Enable or disable ASA health monitoring in the MSSP portal

Enable or disable ASA health monitoring at the portal level so you can collect device health metrics and view Secure Firewall ASA device status in the Health overview dashboard.

To monitor your Secure Firewall ASA devices in the MSSP portal using the Health overview dashboard, you must enable the feature at the MSSP portal level by using this procedure. Then for each tenant with Secure Firewall ASA devices you want to monitor, you must first enable the feature at the tenant level, and at the individual device level in the Security Cloud Control platform for Secure Device Connector-managed ASA devices you want to monitor. For more information, see Enable ASA health monitoring.

Note

Cloud Device Gateway (CDG) ASA devices are automatically enabled when you enable ASA health monitoring at the tenant level.

Bulk opt-in and opt-out options are also available for Device Health Metrics in ASA devices managed by Secure Device Connector (SDC), from the Security Devices page of the Security Cloud Control platform. For more information, see Bulk opt in or opt out of device health metrics.

To enable ASA Health Monitoring, you must enable the feature at the tenant level for Secure Firewall ASA devices and at the individual device level for Secure Device Connector-managed ASA devices in addition to enabling the ASA Health Monitoring feature at the MSSP portal level. Note that you can enable the toggle buttons in any order. This configuration ensures that health monitoring data is collected and available for analysis in the MSSP health dashboard.

Note

To enable or disable the ASA Health Monitoring feature at the MSSP portal level, you must have Super Admin user privileges.
