In this topic, you can find information on alerting examples.

Network Reliability Alerts

To alert the network management and operations if a threshold crossing is detected for the packet-drop-rate KPI. Thresholds are created with the distinct ranges with corresponding threshold labels for normal, warning, and critical levels.

To generate an alert for the warning and critical breaches with corresponding severities. You can create an alert definition for each threshold range that must be modified.

Minor Alert

alert name: Packet-drop-rate-alert-minor

input thresholds: Packet-drop-rate: warning

severity: Minor

Critical Alert

alert name: Packet-drop-rate-alert-critical

input threshold: packet-drop-rate: critical

severity: Critical

The definition generates the required alert event in response to any observations of the packet drop rate threshold. The events matching the configuration earlier for any of the devices matching the filter expression are configured in the KPI definition.

Device down Alert

To alert the network management and operations if a sustained device down event is detected for a device as calculated by the device-down-status-count KPI.

Critical Alert

alert name: Device-down-alert-critical

input threshold: Device-down-status-count: device.down

severity: Critical

The definition generates the required alert event in response to any observations where the device down the count for a one minute window is more than five.
