Alerts

This monitor will collect the current alerts from HANA statistics engine.

Configuration hints

By default, this monitor will generate an alarm for each collected HANA alert matching the minimum severity settings, set to LOW by default.
Use the configuration table to create specific monitoring rules such as:
- Exclude a particular host
- Implement specific severity mapping
- Manage specific alert id.

Any HANA alert which is not matching any filter of the table will trigger an alarm.
You can change that behavior by switching Unmatched alerts settings to REJECT.
In that case, only HANA alerts matching table filters will trigger an alarm.

Alarm severity mapping:

Parameter	Description
Auto clear	If checked the alarms will be cleared if the alert is not present anymore in the statistics engine
Send metadata	When active, this will send collected alerts as metadata to Redpeaks Cockpit
Minimum severity	The minimum severity of the alerts
Unmatched alerts	How to handle unmatched alerts: PROCESS, REJECT

Parameter	Description
Active	If checked, the rule is enabled and will be evaluated
Host	Filters alerts associated to this specified host
Alert id	Filters on a specific alert id
Min rating	Filters alerts with a rating greater than or equal to this value
Required rating	If not set to 'disabled', the alert must have exactly this rating to be processed
Auto clear	If active, the generated alarms will be cleared automatically when the corresponding HANA alert will be cleared
Use index	If active, the index of the HANA alert will be used in generated alarm id, making it unique
Alarm tag	Sets an arbitrary tag for alarms generated by this rule. It can then be used for filtering in alarm rules

This table allows you to define custom mappings between HANA rating and Redpeaks severity per alert ID

Parameter	Description
Active	If checked, the mapping is active
Alert id	Alert ID this mapping applies to
(IN) HANA Rating	The HANA rating to match (e.g., HIGH, LOW, etc.)
(OUT) Redpeaks Severity	The severity to assign when the above rating is matched. If set to 'disabled', matching alerts are excluded

If both Min rating and Required rating are set to disabled, alerts matching the rule are excluded
If Required rating is active (i.e., not disabled), the alert must exactly match the specified rating to be processed
If (OUT) Redpeaks Severity is set to disabled, all alerts matching the specified (IN) HANA Rating will be excluded
To filter on a specific unique HANA alert ID, use the format ^X$, where X is the alert ID
Example:
Use ^7$ to match only alerts with ID 7
