## Event Context

VA (Virtual Appliance) Cluster Status Change Events occur when a health check is run on a VA cluster and the health status is different from the previous health check. Customers can use this trigger to monitor all the health status changes of their VA clusters.

Some uses cases for this trigger include the following:

- Create real-time health dashboards for VA clusters.
- Notify an administrator or system to take the appropriate actions when a health status changes.

Additional notes about VA Cluster Status Changes:

- VA cluster health checks run every 30 minutes.
- This trigger will invoke on any VA cluster health status change (i.e. healthy -> unhealthy, unhealthy -> healthy).
- See [troubleshooting virtual appliances](https://community.sailpoint.com/t5/IdentityNow-Connectors/Virtual-Appliance-Troubleshooting-Guide/ta-p/78735) for more information.
