3.5. Viewing Alerts and Audit Log and Sending E-mail Notifications¶

3.5.1. Viewing Alerts¶

The Alerts tab lists all the alerts logged by Acronis Cyber Infrastructure. An alert is generated and logged each time one of the following conditions is met or events happen:

• a critical issue has happened with a cluster, its components (CS, MDS), disks, nodes, or services;
• cluster requires configuration or more resources to build or restore its health;
• network requires configuration or is experiencing issues that may affect performance;
• license is about to expire or has expired;
• cluster is about to or has run out of available space.

To view the details of an alert, select it on the MONITORING > Alerts screen and click Details in the menu on the right.

Alerts can be ignored (deleted from the alerts list) or postponed for several hours. Postponed alerts reappear in the list after some time.

To ignore or postpone an alert, select it and click the corresponding button.

3.5.2. Viewing Audit Log¶

The MONITORING > Audit log screen lists all management operations performed by users and their activity events.

To view detailed information on a log entry, select it and click Show more details.

      The management node must be able to access the SMTP server.
