Viewing triggered thresholds

RTM keeps a log of all threshold alerts. View detailed information about the triggered alerts under the Thold tab or through Console > Management > Thresholds. Click the name of a threshold with triggered alerts to see a list of the hosts and the specific data source values that triggered the alert. If there are many thresholds, use the Threshold Status fields to filter the threshold view.

The following is a list of actions you can take to view threshold and alert information in the Thold tab.
  • Review the configured thresholds in your cluster in the Thresholds subtab.
  • View the threshold logs in the Log subtab.
  • Review the status of the hosts that are being monitored by a threshold in the Device Status subtab.

Acknowledge alerts for thresholds

Acknowledge threshold alerts in the Threshold Management page: Console > Management > Thresholds.

Procedure

  1. Click the check box at the right side of each threshold with triggered alerts that you want to acknowledge.
  2. In the Actions column, select Acknowledge and click Go.
  3. In the Acknowledge Message window, specify a reason message (or leave blank for no message) and click Yes to acknowledge the triggered alerts for all thresholds.

    This message is recorded in the cacti.log, threshold log database table, and syslog files.

What to do next

You can repeat the preceding steps, but select Reset Acknowledgement in the Choose an action field to allow the thresholds to send future email and system log notifications with each triggered alert for the threshold.
