The health score starts at 100. Penalties reduce the score. There are three penalty types:
WarningPenalty is applied when:
Single Cluster (Master exists on Cluster - for kops based kubernetes deployments on AWS)
Single Region
Predictive Disk Growth crosses a 90% threshold
ErrorPenalty is applied:
Any Nodes in the Cluster are Not Ready
Any Nodes are under MemoryPressure
SevereErrorPenalty is applied:
Memory Usage exceeds 90% of Available Memory on the Cluster
The Cluster Health alert is based on a threshold of change. For example, an alert on 14 would alert anytime an Error penalty was applied.
