Widgets
Widgets display a high-level view of the alerts. You get an instant view of alerts based on severity, type and when they were created. The statistics displayed on the widgets are cumulative and do not include mute alerts as well as alerts of severity as Notification. Thus, the widget statistics may change when you mute or unmute an alert.
Widgets appear empty initially when alerts are yet to be generated. This is observed when the installation is new and inSync is yet to generate an alert.
Each widget is explained in the following table:
Widget name | Description |
Summary
| Displays a pie chart of active alerts categorized by their severity. Different color schemes are assigned to each severity. |
Top Alert Types
| Displays a bar chart of top five most occurred alert types. This helps you to identify the major alert types generated in your environment. |
Alert Activities by Days
| Displays a bar chart of alerts generated over time. The count is split for alerts created between 0 to 6 days, 7 to 13 days and 14 to 30 days. The bars are further color coded based on the severity. Mouse over the bars to view the respective alert counts. A count of alerts older than 30 days is displayed on the top right corner of the widget. |
Show and hide widgets
Widgets are displayed by default on the Manage Alerts page. You can hide widgets if required.
Click the Alert widget openarrow button to hide the widgets.
You can restore the view when you click Alert widget closearrow.
Recent and Older tabs
Recent and Older tabs display alerts sorted by their severity. Alerts can be Critical, High, Warning or Notification in severity. Critical alerts have the highest severity because of the nature of their impact. Muted alerts and alerts with severity as Notification are not displayed on the Recent and Older tabs.
Recent tab
The recent tab is the active tab when you access alerts on the Manage Alerts page. Only those alerts which are Critical in severity or were generated within the last 14 days are displayed on this tab. Critical alerts continue to appear in the Recent tab until the cause of the alert is resolved.
Click the source listed under the Source column to view the details of the affected sources like User, Cloud App,CloudCache, and AD Connector.
Older tab
Alerts with severity as High or Warning that were created 14 days ago or before are displayed on this tab. inSync does not send emails for any alert in the Older tab.
The details displayed in each column on the Recent and Older tabs are as follows:
Column name | Information displayed |
Type | Alert type. |
Source |
|
Time: | Date and time when the last alert was generated. Since inSync does not generate new alerts for the same issue, the alert date and time is updated with the latest instance of the alert. If the alert, however, is active and unresolved for at least 14 consecutive days, it is moved to the Older tab. Alerts with severity as Critical are always displayed on the Recent tab. |
Severity: | Displays if the alert severity is Critical, High or Warning. Critical alerts are sorted at the top followed by High and Warning respectively on the Recent tab. |
Details: | Displays details specific to the alert type. The details displayed here help in deciding the further course of action relevant to the alert type. |
