Legacy alarms are triggered when system attributes reach alarm threshold values. If you want to reduce or clear the count of legacy alarms on the Dashboard, you can acknowledge the alarms.
Before you begin
- You must be signed in to the Grid Manager using a supported browser.
- You must have the Acknowledge Alarms permission.
About this task
If an alarm from the legacy system is currently active, the Health panel on the Dashboard includes a Legacy alarms link. The number in parentheses indicates how many legacy alarms are currently active.
Because the legacy alarm system continues to be supported in StorageGRID 11.4, the number of legacy alarms shown on the Dashboard is incremented whenever a new alarm occurs. This count is incremented even if email notifications are no longer being sent for alarms. You can typically just ignore this number (since alerts provide a better view of the system), or you can acknowledge the alarms.
Note: Optionally, when you have completely transitioned to the alert system, you can disable each legacy alarm to prevent it from being triggered and added to the count of legacy alarms.
When you acknowledge an alarm, it is no longer included in the count of legacy alarms unless the alarm is triggered at the next severity level or it is resolved and occurs again.
Note: While the alarm system continues to be supported in StorageGRID 11.4, the new alert system offers significant benefits and is easier to use.
