Alerting

You can create alerts based on performance data metrics for all configured devices.
Any metric that is collected by the tool can be selected for alerting.
Configure it via the UI ➡ Settings ➡ Alerting ➡ Configuration
Define email groups under "Email" tab at first.

How to create a new dashboard

Storage-based alert: select "Storage" ➡ New Alert Group
Alerting cfg 1

Put a name, select a class, subsystem (volume) and volumes here via regex ('.*' means all volumes on all storage devices) ➡ Add
Alerting cfg 2

Select a metric (Latency)
Alerting cfg 3

Put threshold and email targed groups defined in advance ➡ Save
Alerting cfg 4

Then via a "+" sign in the alert line on the right you can add more metrics to be alerted for the same alert group.

Examples

Email alerts have included graphs by default, you can set your own time range of that graph in the Alerting Options tab

It raises an alert when any critical HW or SW error is detected for any devices.
Basically, the alert is sent when any device goes to the "red" status in the global health status dashboard.
Once a device goes back to "green", clear alert is sent.
You can configure via the UI ➡ Settings ➡ Alerting ➡ Options HW Event
Define email groups under "Email" tab at first.
