A remote server monitors the health of a network of computing devices through hierarchical composite indicators by obtaining performance attributes from computing devices in the network. The server generates a composite indicator associated with one or more of the computing device based on a combination of at least two performance attributes of the computing device(s). The server monitors the composite indicator and, responsive to a determination that the composite indicator indicates an alert condition, generates an alert associated with the computing device(s). Additionally, if the alert condition is subject to remediation, the server causes at least one of the computing devices to execute a command to provide remediation of the alert condition.
