Monitoring a VPC for status and health

When viewing the list of VPCs in IBM Cloud VPC, there are columns for the VPC status and health status.

Monitoring VPC status

In the IBM Cloud console, go to VPC Infrastructure > Network > VPCs.
For each Virtual Private Cloud in the table, refer to columns for Status and Health status. See the following sections for available statuses and definitions.

The following table shows the possible VPC resource statuses and a description of what each status means.

Table 1: VPC status descriptions
Status	Description
Available	The resource is available.
Deleting	The resource is in the process of being deleted.
Failed	The resource is unreachable, inoperative, or otherwise incapacitated.
Pending	The resource has been created, but the process is not yet complete.
Stable	The resource is operating as expected.
Suspended	The resource has been suspended. Contact IBM Support for further clarification.
Updating	The resource is currently being updated.
Waiting	The resource is currently paused while waiting for a response.

The following table shows the possible VPC health statuses and a description of what each status means.

Table 2: Health status descriptions
Health status	Description
Degraded	The resource is experiencing compromised performance, capacity, or connectivity.
Faulted	The resource is unreachable, inoperative, or otherwise incapacitated.
Healthy	No abnormal behavior detected.
Inapplicable	The health state doesn't apply because of the current lifecycle status of the resource. For example, a lifecycle status of `deleting` will have a health state of `inapplicable`.
