Monitoring Rules

On the Monitoring > Rules page, we see a list of alerts that have been triggered and documented from a defined ruleset for a managed asset. It not only provides an overview, but also more in depth details. Options include selecting the name of the cluster, the severity level, and a search box to locate specific events or alerts.

The columns provide the following details about the alert messages.

• Name – The name of the triggered rule

• Summary – A short synopsis of the code and a description of when the rule activated, the alert message itself, and what occurred to cause the problem
• Description – A characterization or encapsulation of the event
• Expressions – the alert values that are reported for the event
• Duration – The duration denotes the period of time in which the event transpired
• Cluster – This field states the cluster where the alert occurred.

Clicking on the alert name bring up a small pop-up window with further details.

• Its severity
