Alert Management

You can create and manage email alerts for Tetra Integrations from an optional Alert Management page. Once the page is activated in your Tetra Data Platform (TDP) environment, you can use these alerts to help you proactively monitor and maintain your data integrations.

The Alert Management page currently supports alerts for Tetra Agents, Tetra Connectors, and Tetra Hubs. Each integration type supports different alerts based on its specific monitoring needs.

Activate the Alert Management Page

To activate the Alert Management page in your TDP environment, contact your customer account leader.

Activation Considerations

After activating the Alert Management page, the navigation structure in the TDP user interface changes:

  • In the left navigation menu, Health Monitoring becomes Operational Intelligence.
  • Health Monitoring and Alert Management become sub-items under Operational Intelligence.

Access the Alert Management Page

To access the Alert Management page, do the following:

  1. Sign in to the TDP.
  2. In the left navigation menu, choose Operational Intelligence.
  3. Select Alert Management. The Alert Management page appears, displaying a list of all configured alerts. The All Alerts tab displays all of the alerts configured in your organization. The My Alerts tab displays only the alerts that you're subscribed to.

Create an Alert

To create an email alert for a Tetra Integration, do the following:

  1. Open the Alert Management page.
  2. Choose Create Alert. The Create Alert dialog appears.
  1. Configure the alert by doing the following:

    • For NAME, enter a descriptive name for the alert.
    • For DATA SOURCE TYPE, select an integration type (Agent, Connector, or Hub).
    • For ALERT TYPE, select an alert type and configure any THRESHOLD if prompted. For details on available alerts, see Alert Types.
    • For SOURCE, select a specific integration from the list of available integrations in your organization.
    • For ALERT DELAY MINUTES, enter how long (in minutes) you want to delay the alert after it's initially triggered. Configuring this value to at least 5 minutes can help avoid false alarms from short-lived issues that resolve themselves.
    • For SUBSCRIBERS, enter a comma-separated list of the email addresses that you want to send the alerts to.
  2. Choose Create.

NOTE

You can't edit an alert after it's created. To update an existing alert, you must first delete it and then create a new one.

Alert Types

Connector Alerts

Alert TypeDescription
OfflineNotifications for Offline Connectors. When a Connector is in RUNNING or IDLE status, it will send heartbeats to the TDP to signify that it is able to communicate with the platform. A Connector is considered offline if it's not disabled and the TDP stops receiving heartbeats from it.

Agent Alerts

Alert TypeDescription
OfflineNotifications for Offline Agents. When an Agent is in ENABLED status, it will send heartbeats to the TDP to signify that it is able to communicate with the platform. An Agent is considered offline if it's not disabled and the TDP stops receiving heartbeats from it.

Tetra Hub Alerts

Alert TypeDescription
OfflineNotifications for Offline Tetra Hubs. When a Tetra Hub is in ENABLED status, it will send heartbeats to the TDP to signify that it is able to communicate with the platform. A Tetra Hub is considered offline if it's not disabled and the TDP stops receiving heartbeats from it.
Disk SpaceNotifications for when disk usage exceeds a configured threshold. The threshold is configured as a percentage of the host machine's available disk space.
L7 Proxy UptimeNotifications for when the uptime for a Tetra Hub's squid forward proxy (L7 Proxy) component falls below a configured threshold. The threshold is configured as the average uptime of the component in minutes.
L7 Nginx UptimeNotifications for when the uptime for a Tetra Hub's reverse Nginx proxy (L7 Proxy) component falls below a configured threshold. The threshold is configured as the average uptime of the component in minutes.
L7 Socat UptimeNotifications for when the uptime for a Tetra Hub's L7 Proxy Socat component falls below a configured threshold. The threshold is configured as the average uptime of the component in minutes.

Alert Emails

When an alert is triggered, it sends an email to each configured subscriber. The email contains details for the affected TDP deployment, organization, and integration as well as when the alert was triggered. A View details button provides a link to the affected integration's Details page in the TDP user interface.

When the problem that triggered an alert is resolved, the TDP sends a follow-up email to all of the alert's subscribers indicating that the alert is resolved.
