DX Unified Infrastructure Management

Dear team,

I am working with a client on a POC. We have configured monitoring for them and they need the alarms as email so I configured email gateway  and also created an auto-operator in NAS to send alarms coming for the specific probe. But they are complaining that they are getting more than 10000 of alarms in a day and due to this their mailbox is getting full. Every time when the alarm count is getting increased they are getting alarm for that. Their concerned is if they got an alarm on value of 10 then why they should get an alarm on again after 15 min interval of the auto operator on value 10. If the value is changing then they should get an alarm and if once they are notified for an event they why they are getting notified on each and every interval.

Do anyone have any idea how to reduce no of alarm or if they are notified once for the event it should not again send an emai or it should trigger email/action only once the value of alarm condition is changed, If the value remains same then it should not send an email.

Thanks,

Pankaj

Maybe you can consider revisiting your 'Message Overdue Age' settings in AO.
Also you could create a additional filter against 'Message Counter' in the same AO to e-mail after a certain number of message counts.

Hello.

I agree with you that this types of approach is excellent.

However, if you feel alerts are too many, then it is very simply implication your alerting criteria should be revisited.

Many of customers are very good at dealing coming alerts effectively, but this could be used as an opportunity for an improvement in your monitoring governance.
