Monitor and investigate alerts in NetApp Console local deployment to keep your storage healthy and minimize disruption.
View active alerts across your entire organization or a specific fleet, prioritize them by severity and impact area, and investigate root causes so you can resolve issues before they escalate. When an alert includes a recommended action or Fix It option, you can move from investigation directly into remediation.
All roles except Federation admin and Federation viewer. Users with the Federation admin or Federation viewer role cannot view alerts. Learn about access roles.
For ONTAP alerts, you can access tools such as System Manager and Workload Analyzer directly from the Alerts page to investigate and resolve issues.
For external reporting, you can export the alerts list to a CSV file for offline analysis.

You can also set up notification rules to receive alerts by email or webhook. Learn how to set up alert notifications. |
