What actions can you take?
Once you have set up your monitoring and resources are being successfully monitored, go to Monitoring > Resources Status to follow the status of resources in real time.
On this page you can perform the following actions (hover over the resource's status and click the corresponding button):
-
Acknowledge a resource: When an event occurs on a resource, you can mark the resource as acknowledged, to notify your team that you are aware of the incident and that you will take action to resolve it.
When a resource is acknowledged, notifications are stopped, and the resource is highlighted yellow in monitoring screens.
Acknowledging a resource does not mean that the incident is over: it will be over when the resource is back to its nominal state (OK or UP).
-
Plan a downtime: A downtime is a time period during which notifications are disabled for a resource. When you know that a specific resource is going to be down for maintenance, set a downtime on it to avoid getting unnecessary alerts.
-
Perform a check on a resource: Execute the check command for the resource immediately. Its status will be refreshed shortly.
