Overview
The Static Health integration is used to visualize static health information in StackState by reading from CSV files. The health consists of check states.
Static Health is a StackState curated integration.
Setup
Prerequisites
To set up the Static Health integration you will need to have:
StackState Agent V2 installed on a machine that can connect to StackState.
Configure
To configure the StackState Agent to read CSV health files:
1.Edit the Agent integration configuration file /etc/stackstate-agent/conf.d/static_health.d/conf.yaml to include the following details:
type - set to csv for parsing CSV typed files.
health_file - the absolute path to the CSV file containing health state information.
delimiter - the delimiter used in the CSV file.

2.​Restart the StackState Agent(s) to apply the configuration changes.
3.Once the Agent has restarted, wait for the Agent to collect data from the specified health CSV file and send it to StackState.
The configured collection_interval will be used as the repeat_interval for the health synchronization. Make sure that the value set for the the collection_interval matches the time that the check will take to run.
