Lastly, use Configuration > Devices to define and manage a critical resource policy. A critical
resource policy defines a list of device IP addresses on the network (gateways, routers etc.). The
support of these IP address is interpreted as critical to the health of the network. These devices
addresses are pinged regularly by the controller or service platform. If there’s a connectivity issue,
an event is generated stating a critical resource is unavailable. For more information, see
Overriding a Profile’s Critical Resource Configuration.
