Manage alerts using the GUI
View, mute, and unmute alerts to maintain cluster health.
Using the GUI, you can:
View alerts
The bell icon in the top bar displays the number of currently active alerts in the system. Selecting the icon opens the alerts pane on the system dashboard, which lists the names of all active alerts.
When there are no active alerts, the alerts pane is empty and the bell icon does not display a count. Muted alerts are excluded from both the alert count and the alerts pane.
Procedure
Select the bell icon at the top bar or select any alert in the Alerts pane.
In the Active Alerts table, review the alerts. Each alert provides description, corrective action, and severity. Muted alerts show also the muted time remaining.
To display alerts with the DEBUG severity level, turn on Show Debug Alerts.
