A system that permits or otherwise facilitates assessment of operational state of a computing component in a computing environment. In one example, this disclosure describes a method that includes collecting, by a server device that is executing within a server device cluster, metric information indicative of an operational state of the server device, wherein the metric information is associated with a plurality of virtual computing instances executing on the server device; analyzing, by the server device and based on the metric information, whether a first condition associated with a first virtual computing instance is satisfied; analyzing, by the server device and based on the metric information, whether a second condition associated with a second virtual computing instance is satisfied; and updating control information characterizing the operational state of the server device executing within the server device cluster.
