Alerts and Alert Definitions
View the alerts that were generated when certain conditions were detected on a chassis on the Alerts page. Alerts are generated when the conditions that are specified on the Alert Definitions page are detected. The alerts that are available for a chassis are for properties that apply to the entire chassis, or blades within the chassis.
Use alert policies to manage the alert definitions and notification settings that apply to chassis. Default chassis alert policy is assigned when a new chassis is added to IBM Storage Insights. You can view, set, or create the alert policy for a chassis from the Alert Definitions page. The tasks that you can do depend on whether the chassis is managed by an alert policy. You can also create and assign alert policies from the Alert Policies page.
| Alert policy status | Tasks available on Alert Definitions page |
|---|---|
| An alert policy is assigned | View the policy or set a different policy to manage the chassis. Click View Policy or Set Policy from the Policy Actions menu. |
| No alert policy is assigned | Set a policy to manage the chassis or create a policy from the existing alert definitions.
Click Set Policy or Create Policy from the
Policy Actions menu. If you do not want to use a policy, you can define alerts for a chassis by clicking Edit Alerts Definitions. |
