Alarm

Alert
Early Access  
Alarm is not enabled for all users. If you’d like to try it out, please email our support team for early access.

The Alarms feature allows users to set up alerts based on parameters or metrics, providing real-time monitoring and notification capabilities. It enables you to monitor and manage your Bridge's performance by configuring thresholds and receiving notifications when these thresholds are crossed.

Bridge metrics are collected and stored in the database every 30 minutes. In the Alarm module, you can set thresholds for these parameters and configure email notifications for recipients who need to be alerted. The system evaluates the gathered data against the configured thresholds, activating an alert whenever any threshold is exceeded, and promptly notifying relevant parties via email for immediate action.
 
Alarms also facilitate historical performance analysis by attribute and help administrators identify server utilization issues, reducing the risk of overload or crashes.
 

Alerts can be set for the following parameters:

  1. CPU Utilization: Monitor CPU load to ensure efficient resource allocation.

  1. Disk Utilization: Track disk usage to prevent storage-related problems.

  1. Memory Utilization: Monitor memory consumption for optimal system performance.

  1. Failed Jobs: Stay informed about failed tasks to maintain workflow efficiency.

 

Benefits of Alarm

  1. Performance Insights: Tracking parameters like CPU and Disk utilizations provides insights into power consumption and system load, helping identify performance bottlenecks.
  2. Error Detection: Swiftly detects errors that could lead to system failure, ensuring optimal performance.
  3. Consistent System Health: Monitoring CPU usage, memory utilization, disk usage, and job success ensures these critical attributes stay within acceptable limits, promoting consistent system health and optimal performance.
