[Trigger Alert] -> Check ASM Alert Log -> Run ASMCMD/SQL -> Inspect OS Paths -> Rebalance/Remount Step 1: Trace the Associated Errors
Before digging into the logs, you need to assess the immediate risk to your production environment.
Your first step must be digging into the ASM alert log, typically located in your Diagnostics Destination directory: $ORACLE_BASE/diag/asm/+asm/+ASM1/trace/alert_+ASM1.log asm health checker found 1 new failures
While the alert text "found 1 new failures" is generic, it almost always maps to one of these four real-world scenarios. Scenario A: Disk Offline or Dropped Safely

The "ASM Health Checker found 1 new failures" notification is a critical alert in the F5 BIG-IP Application Security Manager ecosystem. This error indicates that a background diagnostic script has detected a discrepancy or a component failure within the Web Application Firewall (WAF) module. If ignored, these failures can lead to configuration sync issues, traffic processing latency, or complete service outages. Immediate Impact of ASM Health Check Failures
