How long do I need to wait before I start getting alerts?
Wait a maximum of 15 minutes for initial discovery and after that a maximum of 5 minutes for alerts to appear. This varies from alert to alert.
*Why can't I see the alerts for ONTAP using direct mode without a BlueXP Connector?
BlueXP alerts is available only using the on-premises standard BlueXP Connector. Using the direct mode does not monitor the clusters and does not display the alerts.
Why are some alerts disappearing from the Alerts list page?
The alerting feature keeps some alerts in an Active state and closes them after either the counter condition is met or a time period is reached. This varies from alert to alert.
To see all the alerts, select the Status column filter and select the Closed option.
