Template:AlertManager

The Alert Manager can be used to note and track alerts more easily. Email Alerts Tab SMTP Mail Server Settings The settings in this box are required for routing the alerts to the appropriate mail server. SMTP Server Address: Provide the address for an accessible SMTP relay or mail server. Connection Security: Choose the appropriate security setting. Options are None, STARTTLS, or SSL/TLS. SMTP User/Password: Provide a username and password that has access to the provided SMTP server. Email Sender/Recipient You can provide an email address or distribution list for appropriate storage administrators who will be monitoring Quantastor. This address will receive all levels of alerts; Informational, Warning and Critical. If you prefer to only receive some alert levels, you can configure alert subscriptions at the User level for user e-mail addresses inside of the User Add or User Modify dialogs. This is the mail address that will be presented in the "From" line of the email. The address should be easily identifiable and unique to the specific Quantastor system so that administrators can quickly note the source of the alert. Append Alerts to Syslog Uses the logger tool to append alerts to '/var/log/syslog' ITSM Integrations Tab IT Service Management (ITSM) modules make it easy to integrate alerting with popular ITSM service providers via webhook URL. Capacity Alerts Threshold Tab Capacity alerts are generated when Storage Pools or quota limited Network Shares cross one of the three levels of capacity alert thresholds. The 'warning' threshold is an early warning that indicates free-space is getting low. The 'urgent' threshold provides a follow-up reminder alert after the warning level has been crossed and the final 'critical' alert threshold indicates action should be taken immediately. Share Quotas can be easily addressed by increasing the quota. Storage Pools should generally be expanded at 30% remaining to maintain performance levels. Storage Pool - Low Free Space Alerts Here you can customize the threshold triggers for Storage Pool capacity alerts. Three levels of severity are available. Share Quota Low-space This lets you set the percentage you will get a warning at for your share quota space being low. Separate alarms can be set under the Warning, Critical, and Urgent categories. Generate Test Alert This button will bring up a new window that can be used to send a test alert. Enter in a sample message and press ok. Note: you must first save your settings by pressing the OK button on the Alert Manager window before sending a Test Alert. Alert Types Tab Alerts may be disabled or paused for 30 days in order to silence persistent alerts while maintenance work is being done. Filtering is supported by clicking on the Title column, checking Filters, and entering the desired text. SNMP Tab As an option one can mandate the use of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Credentials.
