Alarms Overview

The Alarms Overview groups the OpenStack alarms by object type and severity level. For monitoring alarms, use it as a starting point to quickly identify the sources of problems within the OpenStack infrastructure.

This view appears at the top of the OpenStack Alarms dashboard, preceding the Alarms List view.

The alarm counts are the total number of alarms for each alarm type: Normal, Warning, Critical, and Fatal. You can drill down on any alarm count by clicking it. The Alarms dialog box appears with a list of all related alarms.

Content and embedded views

The metrics and the amount of detail displayed in each view varies depending on the resource object or group of objects you select on the Topology tab.

The OpenStack Explorer heading, at the top of the OpenStack Explorer dashboard view, consists of three main components:

•

An icon and text that specify the type of selected object or group of objects.

•

An alarm summary for the selected object.

•

Navigation tabs.

The alarm summary at the right of the view heading shows you the number of alarms at each severity level that are outstanding for the selected object. When you click an alarm count, you get a pop-up that lists the active alarms for the object.

Navigation tabs are located immediately below the selected resource object’s name. Click these tabs to see valuable information about the object being viewed.
