# Device health check calculation

# Device health check calculation {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 10, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 2 minutes to read  
The device health check calculates the performance of each device health category and classifies it as Good, Average, or Poor.

## Calculating device health and performance {#Device-health-check-calculation__section_klh_hzq_dfc}

Performance for each device health category is classified as Good, Average, or Poor by calculating the weighted average of performance indicators from its associated subcategories.  
Performance for each subcategory of a device health category is classified as Good, Average, or Poor by calculating the weighted average of performance indicators from associated device metrics.{#Device-health-check-calculation__table_rbk_jlr_dfc__entry__4}

| Performance indicators | Weight | Upper bound | Lower bound |
|-|-|-|-|
| Good | 1 | 1.67 | 1 |
| Average | 2 | 2.33 | 1.67 |
| Poor | 5 | 5 | 2.33 |
[Table 1. Performance indicators]

{#Device-health-check-calculation__table_rbk_jlr_dfc}

Formula used to calculate the subcategory performance indicators
:   `Sub-category performance indicator= (weight of evaluation metrics performance indicator)/total number of evaluation metrics for the subcategory)`  
    where,

    * Evaluation metric performance indicator: Performance indicator (Good, Average, Poor) of the evaluation metrics' value as defined in the metric definition table. For more information, see [Customize metric definitions](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/mKU4vwO2mIhz4AvrIvL5Iw "Customize the base system metric definitions based on your business requirements.").
    * Weight: Weight of the performance indicator. After all the subcategories are marked as Good, Average, or Poor, the performance of the category is calculated as the weighted average of the subcategory performance indicators.
    {#Device-health-check-calculation__ul_umt_lxj_zdc}

Score range definition

:   The following defines the performance range and its corresponding classification:

    * Good if the performance indicator average value lies in the range of (1, 1.67)
    * Average if the performance indicator average value lies in the range of (1.67, 2.33)
    * Poor if the performance indicator average value lies in the range of (2.33, 5)
    {#Device-health-check-calculation__ul_ztr_byj_zdc}

Formula used to calculate the parent category performance indicator
:   `Category performance indicator= (sum of sub-category performance indicator weights)/total number of sub-categories)`

Example
:
    Consider the following example of calculating the performance indicator for the Device performance category that has the following subcategories:{#Device-health-check-calculation__table_el1_yjr_dfc__entry__5}

    | Subcategory | Metric | Metric value | Subcategory performance metric calculation | Subcategory performance indicator |
    |-|-|-|-|-|
    | Disk Space | Disk Usage | 90 | Subcategory performance indicator = 5 (Weight of Poor indicator) / 1 (total number of evaluation metrics for the subcategory) | Poor |
    | Battery Health | Battery health | Good | Subcategory performance indicator = 1 (Weight of Good indicator) / 1 (total number of evaluation metrics for the subcategory) | Good |
    | Computer Restart | Device uptime | 1 | Subcategory performance indicator = 1 (Weight of Good indicator) / 1 (total number of evaluation metrics for the subcategory) | Good |
    [Table 2. Sample device health check calculation]

    {#Device-health-check-calculation__table_el1_yjr_dfc}

    Performance indicator for Device performance category.

    * Subcategory performance indicators = Poor, Average, Good
    * Sum of weight of subcategory performance indicators: (5 + 1 + 1) = 7; performance indicator = 7 / 3 (number of subcategories) = 2.33
    * The device performance category is Poor (because 2.33 falls in the Poor range)
