When an alert is triggered, an alert icon is displayed on the Dashboard. An alert icon is also displayed for the node on the Nodes page. An email notification might also be sent, unless the alert has been silenced.
By default, alerts are shown as follows:
The Current Alerts page is refreshed every two minutes.
Column header | Description |
---|---|
Name | The name of the alert and its description. |
Severity | The severity of the alert. If multiple alerts are grouped, the title row shows how many instances of that alert are occurring at each severity.
|
Time triggered | How long ago the alert was triggered. If multiple alerts are grouped, the title row shows times for the most recent instance of the alert (newest) and the oldest instance of the alert (oldest). |
Site/Node | The name of the site and node where the alert is occurring. If multiple alerts are grouped, the site and node names are not shown in the title row. |
Status | Whether the alert is active or has been silenced. If multiple alerts are grouped and All alerts is selected in the drop-down, the title row shows how many instances of that alert are active and how many instances have been silenced. |
Current values | The current value of the metric that caused the alert to be triggered. For some alerts, additional values are shown to help you understand and investigate the alert. For example, the values shown for a Low object data storage alert include the percentage of disk space used, the total amount of disk space, and the amount of disk space used. Note: If multiple alerts are grouped, current values are not shown in the title row.
