SQL Server 2012 (11.0.5058.0) Enterprise Edition

We have 8 Availability Groups in a 2(HA)+1(DR) cluster and our monitoring DMVs are reporting results that confuse me. 6 Availability Groups are configured for HA and DR, 1 is configured for HA only, and 1 is configured for DR only.

Each of the 6 HA/DR Availability Groups have "SQLB" as a primary and "SQLA" as a secondary (synchronous) HA replica and "SQLC" as a secondary (async) replica.

On both secondaries:


    SELECT dhags.group_id, dhags.synchronization_health_desc
    FROM sys.dm_hadr_availability_group_states dhags


reports that all Availability Group replication sync health are `NOT_HEALTHY` and 


    select replica_id,synchronization_health_desc
    from sys.dm_hadr_availability_replica_states


reports that all replicas have a sync health of `HEALTHY`.

The primary replica reports all Availability Groups and replicas with a sync health of `HEALTHY`.

While I understand that one reports on replica sync health and the other reports on AG sync health, it seems logical to me that if the more granular (AG) state was not healthy, that would affect the overall health of the broader context (replica). I cannot find MSDN documentation that describes how the health is determined at each level.

Why would the secondaries report `NOT_HEALTHY` for Availability Group sync health, but `HEALTHY` for replica sync health, and why does this differ from the primary's report?
