Hardware health information is collected only for ______ where the hardware sensors are enabled.

Hardware health information is collected only for ______ where the hardware sensors are enabled.

• A. Nodes
• B. Interfaces
• C. Volumes
• D. Applications

Answer: (A)

Hardware health data comes from the device itself, so you only collect it for devices (nodes) where the hardware sensors are enabled. The sensors monitor internal health indicators like temperature, fan speeds, and voltages, and NPM gathers this information at the node level. Interfaces, volumes, and applications are separate aspects: interfaces track network traffic, volumes track storage, and applications track software running on the host. They may have their own metrics, but hardware health relies on the device’s own sensors linked to the node.
