Alarm reporting

Alarm reporting#

All collectors and exporters, as well as any associated streams and profiles, that have triggered alarms are highlighted in red in their respective tabs in the Replicator web interface. Drilling into the details page for a profile will show additional information about any alarms associated with it.

Alarms via syslog

The Replicator can also send alarm details in a syslog message to an external server.

To enable syslog alarms, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to the web interface and navigate to the Settings tab.

  2. In the Notifications setting field, enter the destination IP address and port for syslog alarms in the following format:

    SERVER_IP:PORT

  3. Click the Save button to save any changes made.

As long as a destination server is defined for the Notifications setting, Replicator will automatically send alarm details in a syslog message every time an alarm is triggered.

Note

  • Scrutinizer includes corresponding alarm policies for all Replicator alarms and can be used to monitor an environment for collectors and exporters that go down. View the Scrutinizer online documentation or contact Plixer Technical Support to learn more.

  • Viewing all active alarms can also be done from the Replicator interactive prompt. For more information, see the Interactive CLI section of this manual.
