The following sections will demonstrate how to configure alerts based on several typical scenarios, including:
Table 4 lists the key alerts for SyncIQ. Use the following event groups for alert subscription:
Event group ID | Event group description |
synciq | This event group includes the following event types: 400040002 SyncIQ policy {policy} failure 400040002 SyncIQ policy {policy} failure 400040009 SyncIQ scheduler failed to start policy {policy} 400040010 Error(s) in configuration for SyncIQ policy {policy} 400040011 SyncIQ policy {policy} target version incompatible with source 400040014 SyncIQ failed to contact target cluster for policy {policy} 400040015 SyncIQ failed to take a snapshot for policy {policy} 400040016 SyncIQ policy {policy} detected a modified target file 400040017 SyncIQ filesystem error running policy {policy} 400040018 SyncIQ policy {policy} failed to upgrade 400040019 SyncIQ target association error for policy {policy} |
400040012 | SyncIQ software configuration error |
400040020 | SyncIQ RPO exceeded for policy {policy} |
400040021 | SyncIQ resolved WORM committed file conflicts for policy {policy} |
For detailed information about each event group listed in Table 4, see the OneFS Event Reference.
Use the following command to subscribe to all the SyncIQ related events:
isi event alerts create sync_iq_alert --eventgroup "synciq,400040012,400040020,400040021" NEW mychannel
It is a very common scenario to get notified for each stage during a disk rebuild life cycle: when the disk fails, when the Flex Protect job completes, when the disk is back to a healthy status, and so on.
Table 5 lists the key stages, the corresponding event group id, and the disk state during the disk rebuild life cycle.
Event group ID (Status) | Disk state for the output of “isi devices list” | |
Stage 1: Disk failure and need to be replaced | 100010012 or 100010013 or 100010014 based on the different root cause of the disk failure | SMARTFAIL |
Stage 2: Flex Protect job starts | NA | SMARTFAIL |
Stage 3: Flex Protect job completes | 100010036 (Resolved) | REPLACE |
Stage 4: Replace the disk | NA | NA |
Stage 5: Disk format completes | 100010011 (New) | PREPARING |
Stage 6: Disk run prepare job | NA | PREPARING |
Stage 7: Disk prepare job completes and ready to use | 100010011 (Resolved) | HEALTHY |
Dell Technologies recommends using the new events as the condition of the alert configuration in order to get all the alert notifications of the entire disk rebuild stage as listed in Table 5. This configuration will ensure that you receive all events notifications including new and resolved for the subscribed event groups.
