Deploy Asset Health Manager (AHM) for the First Time

The following table outlines the steps that you must complete to deploy and configure this module for the first time. These instructions assume that you have completed the steps for deploying the basic GE Digital APM system architecture.

These tasks may be completed by multiple people in your organization. We recommend, however, that the tasks be completed in the order in which they are listed.

Note: If you are deploying this module in APM Now, before you begin completing these tasks, review the system requirements for this module to identify the supported features for this module in APM Now. Unless noted, all deployment tasks in the following table are applicable for the deployment of this module in APM Now.

Step	Task	Notes
1	Assign Security Users to one or more of the Asset Health Manager Security Groups and Roles.	This step is required.
2	On the GE Digital APM Server, configure the Meridium Notification Service for AHM.	This step is required.
3	On the GE Digital APM Server, start or restart the Meridium Notification Service.	This step is required. You may review the log files for this service at C:\ProgramData\Meridium\Logs.
4	On the GE Digital APM Server, start the Meridium AHI Service (Asset Health Indicator Service).	This step is required. When you start the service, Health Indicator records are created or updated automatically based on health indicator and reading source records. You may review the log files for this service at C:\ProgramData\Meridium\Logs.
5	Review the AHM data model to determine which relationship definitions you will need to modify to include your custom asset families.	This step is required only if you store asset information in families other than the baseline Equipment and Functional Location families.
6	Determine the equipment or location whose overall health you want to evaluate, and make sure that an asset record exists in the database for this equipment or location and is included in the Asset Hierarchy configuration.	This step is required. If you are using custom asset families and relationships (see Step 5), make sure that the equivalent records and links exist in the database.
7	Configure Health Indicator Mapping records for each family that you want to use as a health indicator source, for which a baseline Health Indicator Mapping record does not already exist.	This step is required. Baseline Health Indicator Mapping records exist for the following health indicator source families: Measurement Location KPI OPC Tag Health Indicator
8	Link each asset record to the record(s) that you want to use as a health indicator source records.	This step is required.
9	For any specific records in a health indicator source family for which you do not want health indicators to be created, exclude these records from the automatic health indicator creation.	This step is optional.
10	Review the baseline event mappings and modify or create new mappings as necessary to customize the information that is displayed in the Events section in Asset Health Manager.	This step is optional. Refer to the Asset Health Manager end user help for more information about events.
