ECS 3.5.0.1 Administration Guide

New alert policy

You can use the Settings > Alerts Policy > New Alert Policy tab to create user-defined alert policies.

1. Select New Alert Policy.
2. Give a unique policy name.
3. Use the metric type drop-down menu to select a metric type.
   Metric Type is a grouping of statistics. It consists of:

   • Btree Statistics
   • CAS GC Statistics
   • Geo Replication Statistics
   • Metering Statistics
   • Garbage Collection Statistics
   • EKM
4. Use the metric name drop-down menu to select a metric name.
5. Select level.
   1. To inspect metrics at the node level, select Node.
   2. To inspect metrics at the VDC level, select VDC.
6. Select polling interval.
   Polling Interval determines how frequently data should be checked. Each polling interval gives one data point which is compared against the specified condition and when the condition is met, alert is triggered.
7. Select instances.

   Instances describe how many data points to check and how many should match the specified conditions to trigger an alert.

   For metrics where historical data is not available only the latest data is used.

8. Select conditions.

   You can set the threshold values and alert type with Conditions.

   The alerts can be either a Warning Alert, Error Alert, or Critical Alert.

9. To add more conditions with multiple thresholds and with different alert levels, select Add Condition.
10. Click Save.
