A layered architecture for managing health of the electronic system comprises a plurality of health subsystems. Health subsystems receive health information from health monitors coupled to respective components of the electronic system and provide the health information to another health subsystem. Based on the received health information, the other health subsystem uses predictive data analytics to determine a health condition of the electronic system and update a health policy based on the predictive data analytics to improve prediction of the health condition of the electronic system.

16. A method for layered management of health of an electronic system, the method comprising: sending, by each health monitor, first health information of a respective group of components in a first layer of the electronic system to a respective first layer health subsystem of the electronic system which receives the rust health information, each group in the rust layer being a same circuit type; sending, by each of the one or more first layer health subsystems, the corresponding first health information to a respective second layer health subsystem of the electronic system; receiving, by each of one or more second layer health subsystem, second health information of a respective group in a second layer of the electronic system, the second health information comprises the first health information of each group in the first layer within the group in the second layer and health information from additional components of the group in the second layer, each group in the second layer is a same circuit type; sending, by each of the one or more second layer health subsystems, the corresponding second health information to a third layer health subsystem of the electronic system; receiving, by the third layer health subsystem, third health information of a respective group in a third layer of the electronic system, the third health information comprises the second health information of each group in the second layer within the group in the third layer, each group in the third layer is a same circuit type; determining, by the third layer health subsystem, a health condition of the electronic system based on the third health information and a health policy for the electronic system; and sending, by the third layer health subsystem, the health condition to a display of the electronic system; receiving, by a fourth layer health subsystem on a cloud compute, fourth health information of a respective group in a fourth layer of the electronic system, the fourth health information comprises the third health information and health information from additional electronic systems of a same type as the electronic system, the group in the fourth layer includes the electronic system or one of the additional electronic systems; and updating, by the fourth layer health subsystem, the health policy based on the fourth health information.
