Delphix Products

Hi,

Is there a way to disable the email alert with subject: Delphix Engine nearing limit on number of dSources and VDBs ?

I know the new version of Delphix has more filtering when it comes alerting, but I can't figure out how to disable this one alert through the CLI. I would like to receive other warning emails, just not this one in particular.

Thanks,

Meagan

Hi Meagan,

You can set up a NotFilter containing an EventFilter for the event string "max_allowed_containers*" (with the asterisk) which should match everything apart from that event.

Let me know if you need help creating that, but basically you want to create a NotFilter for the first filterSpec, and then create an EventFilter as the subFilter for that overall NotFilter (i.e. create the NotFilter first). Hope that makes sense.

Regards,

Scott.

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the info - Would you be able to provide an example?

Thanks,

Hi Meagan,

Sorry for the delay, been a bit tied up, but here we go. I haven't had a chance to fully test this, but it should work.
First, I'll create a new alert profile and set it for my e-mail:

delphixsvr01> /alert/profile/create
delphixsvr01 alert profile create *> edit actions
delphixsvr01 alert profile create actions *> add
delphixsvr01 alert profile create actions 0 *> set addresses=scott.macdonald@delphix.com
delphixsvr01 alert profile create actions 0 *> back
delphixsvr01 alert profile create actions *> back

okay, so we have actions set (mail me), now to add the filterSpecs (a Not inversion containing an Event filter):

delphixsvr01 alert profile create *> edit filterSpec
delphixsvr01 alert profile create filterSpec *> set type=NotFilter 
delphixsvr01 alert profile create filterSpec *> edit subFilter
delphixsvr01 alert profile create filterSpec subFilter *> set type=EventFilter 
delphixsvr01 alert profile create filterSpec subFilter *> set eventTypes=*allowed*
delphixsvr01 alert profile create filterSpec subFilter *> back
delphixsvr01 alert profile create filterSpec *> back
delphixsvr01 alert profile create *> ls
Properties
    type: AlertProfile
    actions:
        0:
            type: AlertActionEmailList (*)
            addresses: scott.macdonald@delphix.com (*)
            format: HTML (*)
    filterSpec:
        type: NotFilter (*)
        subFilter:
            type: EventFilter (*)
            eventTypes: *allowed* (*)
delphixsvr01 alert profile create *> commit
    ALERT_PROFILE-37
delphixsvr01 alert profile> 

Hope that helps, let us know how you get on.

Regards,

Scott.

Hi Scott,

I followed your example, but I did change the actions type to AlertActionEmailUser. We're actually getting more alerts than before, in addition to still getting the "Delphix Nearing Limit" email. Would it be best for me to set up a support call to go over through WebEx?

Thanks!

Meagan

Hi Meagan,

Sorry for the delay, yes I think it would be worth raising a case to do this, it'll be easier to talk about.

Thanks,

Scott.
