If you mouse over the (i) icon on the alert list, you'll see what the last data seen by the alert checker was.

Thanks Steve!

I was able to get the alert configured on one of my switches. 

But doesn't looks like it is working. The rule says send out an alert when the traffic percentage is more than 50 %  (In our case which should be more than 5 Gbps).

I ran a performance tool for 15 minutes giving me a throughput of ~9 Gbps on ethernet port 1 but I do not see any alerts in the alert check. See attachments.

Change your Device match to * and Entity match to *.

 

After that it working, work at narrowing your hostname and entity.

Thanks Kevin!

 

I did clicked the 'regenerate' button but does not see a match.

 

I wonder if my alert is set right, since it doesn't seems to have any match. I see everything as 0/0/0/0.

 

Steve, I tried changing the entity match to ifDescr not match Loopback*  but see the same thing.

Hi All, 

 

I am just starting to use alert checker in Observium.

 

I started with a basic alert checker on one of my switches but not sure if it is working. See attachment.

 

I wanted Observium to set an alerts if the traffic on any of the ports exceeds 50%. 

 

I ran a network performance tool on one of my machine (sending traffic at 8-9 Gbps) but I don't see any alerts been generated. 

 

 

Thanks!

 

 

Regards

Renuka
