Health alerts/alarms
-
Hi all,
I can only see performance and backup alerts in XOA. How do I get alerts/alarms for health related events?
For example, I would like to know when "the bad things" happen in my environment, such as... Network configuration issue... Multipath Alert... Bond status... etc.
I see in XCP-ng Center that it raises Alerts for these type of events, and can send emails too... however I believe I need to leave the software running for this to work? If I close the app, log off the machine, or it reboots for updates or something, then I no longer have email alerts for these important health events... is that correct?
Regards,

I'm not sure XOA has alerts like this built in right now, would be nice to have though. I think the critical ones are in there, like you said, backup and perf alert, but would be nice to have some additional ones that can be tuned.
I do think for a lot of network related things though the XOA VM might also lose connectivity and not be able to alert right?
Either way, I think this is a good feature request of sorts.

I have done some more testing with this.
I am able to generate test alerts/alarms from the xcp-ng cli:
xe message-create pool-uuid=<my-pool-uuid> name="More Test" body="More Test Message. Very Message. Much Test." priority=3
I found that if I use XCP-ng Center and configure a pool to send email notifications, that configuration is saved to each host in the pool - the email alerts are sent even when XCP-ng Center application is no longer running. I get the notifications that I am after.
As I am instructing my engineers to move away from using XCP-ng Center and instead do everything via XOA, it would be great if this pool-wide alert email notifications configuration can be achieved using XOA.
