Instance Alerts

Instance alerts monitor the health and behavior of Yellowbrick database frontend components. These alerts capture both normal and abnormal exit conditions, allowing administrators to distinguish between expected pod terminations and critical failures.

Purpose

These alerts help identify:

• Unexpected terminations of the database frontend, which may trigger automated recovery actions.
• Crash events, where a minidump is generated and attached for support analysis.
• Intentional or benign exits, such as during controlled shutdowns or reconfigurations.

Critical alerts signal potential failures requiring action, while informational alerts are surfaced for visibility and correlation.
