About the Open Storage alert condition
A new event-based alert condition named Open Storage has been added under the Device alert category in OpsCenter. For event-based alert conditions like Open Storage, OpsCenter retrieves data from NetBackup based on notifications from NBSL.
An OpenStorage alert is generated when specific events occur in the storage server (in this case NetApp DataFabric Manager server). When you configure an alert policy based on the Open Storage alert condition, you can receive alerts for the NetApp (NTAP) events in OpsCenter.
Table: NTAP events supported by OpsCenter lists the NTAP events that OpsCenter supports.
Table: NTAP events supported by OpsCenter
General Category | Event Type |
|---|---|
Space Management and Alerting | Threshold alarms or Volume Almost Full (DataFabric Manager (DFM) generated). If the particular volume crosses the high water mark, then DFM generates this event. |
Unprotected Data | Unprotected Data is a custom event generated by NetApp NetBackup plug-in when resource pool has some volumes that are configured but are not protected. The event generation occurs where there is an auto-discovery of unprotected NAS file services data. |
NBSL passes these NTAP events from NetApp devices to OpsCenter. Depending on the alert policy configuration, OpsCenter filters these events based on storage server, severity, and message filter values and raises the alert. The raised alert can be configured to be sent as an email or SNMP trap.
You can clear the Open Storage alert manually. To clear the alert, go to the , select the alert and then click .
