Managing Alerts ​

To manage active and logged alerts, you can use the SMC views, or you can query system views.

SMC Views ​

Go to Manage > Cluster Alerts. To change the display, click Options. For example:

Go to Configure > Alerting > Endpoints to see a quick summary of the number of alerts that have been processed recently or that have failed with errors. For example:

You can click Recent Notifications to see a list of recent alert messages for that endpoint.

System Views ​

To see active alerts (alerts in OPEN state), query the sys.alert view. For example:

yellowbrick=# select * from sys.alert;
