Introduction: The field of health surveillance accumulates experience in building process indicators for monitoring planned actions – managerial, administrative and technical -, and this has contributed to the organization of the work process in the National Health Surveillance System (SNVS). However, it still faces incipience in structuring indicators of the effectiveness of its actions. Objective: To identify, in the literature, sources of information and indicators aimed at measuring the effectiveness of the visa action, taking as a reference the theoretical and methodological proposal for the evaluation of visa actions. Method: Descriptive exploratory study, as a narrative review of the literature,  about the identification of possible effectiveness indicators related to the componentes of the modeling proposal for visa actions. The search was conducted on the PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Lilacs, Cochrane Library and SciELO databases and in public information systems. Results: From the five components that describe the intervention (Management, egulation, Health Risk Control, Health Risk Monitoring and Information, communication and education), 29 possible indicators that use existing data sources were identified and that can be considered for the development of evaluation research that contributes to the analysis of effects arising from the execution of visa actions. Conclusions: Based on the  evidence found, of the existence of information sources and indicators related to the five components of the model, it is observed that  the construction of indicators for the evaluation of health surveillance actions is possible and feasible. It is essential to face technological challenges such as interoperability between the various information systems and the definition of standards to be followed to Exchange information of interest to the management area in searching for the implementation of evaluation practices in the SNVS.
