Configuring Alerts Using the BUI

At the top of the Configuration-> Alerts page are tabs for "Alert Actions" and "Threshold Alerts". See Tasks for step-by-step instructions for configuring these in the BUI.

Adding a Threshold Alert

1. Click the add icon next to "Threshold alerts".
2. Pick the statistic to monitor. You can use Statistics in Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Analytics Guide to view the statistic to check if it is suitable.
3. Pick exceeds/falls below, and the desired value.
4. Enter the Timing details. The defaults will post the alert only if the threshold has been breached for at least 5 minutes, will repost every 5 minutes, and post after the threshold has cleared for 5 minutes.
5. Select the Alert action from the drop down menu, and fill out the required fields on the right.
6. If desired, continue to add Alert actions by clicking the add icon next to "Alert actions".
7. Click "APPLY" at the top of the dialog.

Adding an Alert Action

1. Click the add icon next to "Alert actions".
2. Select the Category, or pick "All events" for everything.
3. Either pick All Events, or a Subset of Events. If the subset is selected, customize the checkbox list to match the desired alerts events.
4. Use the drop down menu in "Alert actions" to select which alert type.
5. Enter details for the Alert action. The "TEST" button can be clicked to create a test alert and execute this alert action (useful for checking if email or SNMP is configured correctly).
6. The add icon next to "Alert actions" can be clicked to add multiple alerts actions.
7. Click "ADD" at the top right.
