You might have used Global Custom alarms for the legacy system to address specific monitoring requirements. Global Custom alarms might have alarm levels that override Default alarms, or they might monitor attributes that do not have a Default alarm.
Before you begin
- You must be signed in to the Grid Manager using a supported browser.
- You must have specific access permissions.
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.
About this task
Global Custom alarms override Default alarms. You should not change Default alarm values unless absolutely necessary. By changing Default alarms, you run the risk of concealing problems that might otherwise trigger an alarm.
Attention: Be very careful if you change alarm settings. For example, if you increase the threshold value for an alarm, you might not detect an underlying problem. Discuss your proposed changes with technical support before changing an alarm setting.
Procedure
- Select Support. Then, in the Alarms (legacy) section of the menu, select Global Alarms.
