Available only in Alerts 2.0
Auvik provides preconfigured out-of-the-box alerts for key health metrics, while also allowing users to define custom alerts based on specific monitoring metrics.
Preconfigured Alerts for Health Metrics (Hardware Status):
- Auvik Collector High CPU Utilization
- Auvik Collector High Memory Utilization
- Auvik Collector High Disk Utilization
These alerts are disabled by default and must be enabled by a user.
They trigger when average resource utilization reaches or exceeds 90% over a 10-minute period.
Note: Users can customize threshold percentages and alert delay durations to fit their requirements. Alternatively, default alerts can be cloned to establish new rules with different severity levels: for example, setting a ‘Critical’ alert when CPU utilization reaches or exceeds 95% over a 10-minute window.
