Delphix Products

Hello,

I believe that it is possible to improve Delphix Engine's alert communication. Currently in one of my customers we've set the email alerts which is sent by the email provided to the Delphix Engines to an email list.

It's good to know what's going on with the engines via email but if there are planned works performed on source or target hosts it might mean that hundreds of Critical and Warning mails might fill the inbox saying that Delphix cannot reach source or target or a network connection is not working, etc.

So, I would like to ask you how you have implemented solutions for problems like 

1) When Delphix becomes unresponsive: vDBs are not working, GUI/CLI/API not working but unfortunately ping returns alive
2) When one or more storage becomes unavailable to Delphix: This is where Delphix raises a critical error but as I said recieving an email Delphix not being able to connect to dSource and having an existential crisis like storage should somehow be differentiated
3) Any 3rd party solutions for checking Delphix or Delphix connecting and sharing/sending logs (or maybe an API integration)


BR,

• E-mail alert profiles can be configured to provide some quite complex criteria based on severity, event type, object, etc to different lists. Please see the Alert Profiles sections of Email (SMTP) Alert Notifications for info/examples.
• SNMP provides basic monitoring, network info/stats, cpu, memory, disk I/O - see Configuring SNMP for info.
• See Setting SysLog Preferences for info on propagating logs to a centralized syslog server.
• Splunk can be setup for this, see Splunk Integration.
