After logging in to the OCP cloud platform, click Alert Center in the left navigation pane. On the Overview tab, you can view a summary of alerts pushed by the current OCP, helping you quickly locate the root cause of faults, identify the source of alerts, and improve operational efficiency.
Prerequisites
Ensure that the user currently logged into OCP has the ADMIN or ADMIN_VIEWER role.
Considerations
If the current OCP has just undergone an upgrade, to prioritize ensuring the stability of core OCP services, some statistical data display functions on the alert overview page will be temporarily restricted. Normal functionality is expected to resume the next day.
Active Alerts
Statistics on the total number of active alerts and the count of alerts at different severity levels within the active alerts are provided.
Alert Statistics
By default, statistics for alerts occurring within the last month are aggregated and categorized based on the event outcome, including data for resolved events, muted events, successfully delivered notifications, and failed notification deliveries. You can filter by time window to view alert statistics for a specific period.
Alert Insights
View the historical number of alerts generated, distribution by severity, and trends for each application within the selected time range. By default, insights are provided on a daily basis, but you can also choose to view hourly insights or select a time period based on a time window.
- Click a specific application, and only the alert information related to that application will be displayed in the bar chart below.
- Hover the cursor over a bar to view details of the alert data generated on that day.
- Click a specific alert severity level at the bottom of the chart to gray it out and hide it; the bar chart will then not display alerts of that level.
Note
- Only alerts generated within the past 90 days can be filtered.
- Insights can be viewed only on a daily or hourly basis.
- Sorted within a single application: Displays the top 10 objects by the number of alerts triggered within that single application and their severity distribution. You can switch between Applications and Object Type from the drop-down list to view specific data for different objects.
- Sorted across all applications: Displays the top 10 objects by the number of alerts triggered across all applications, along with their top 3 corresponding alert events.
- overview_top_display_count: The number of top data displays.
- overview_top_store_buffer: The storage buffer of the top data.
- overview_target_sub_top_display_count: The number of subgroups of the alert object to display.
- overview_target_sub_top_store_buffer: The storage buffer of the subgroups of the alert object.
