Troubleshooting
Problem
I am getting flooded by Port Congestion Index alerts from Storage Insights for a switch. Are these alerts a real concern as the port send bandwidth is 1 - 5%? How can I tune the alert?
Symptom
Resolving The Problem
When the port send bandwidth percentage is small, the calculated port congestion index becomes a large number. Storage Insights ignores the value for port congestion when send bandwidth is less than 0.1. You can update the alert policy and alert definition to add a value like 5% for “ignore if the Port Send Bandwidth Percentage is less than this value”. Use this approach to fine-tune the alerts you receive in your environment.
