Alarm Center

The Alarm Center serves as a comprehensive visualization platform that displays all alarms after undergoing grouping, consolidation, suppression, and silencing processes. It encompasses both internally triggered threshold-based alarms and integrated third-party notifications.

Alarm Sources​

The HertzBeat Alarm Center manages notifications from two primary sources:

  1. Internal Threshold-Triggered Alarms
    • Generated when monitoring metrics exceed predefined thresholds
    • Directly correlated with monitoring tasks and threshold rules configured within the system
    • Manageable through adjustment of monitoring parameters and threshold configurations
  2. Third-Party Integrated Alarms
    • Received through API interfaces from external systems
    • Compatible with various monitoring systems and alarm platforms
    • Processed through identical workflow as internal alarms

Alarm Processing Mechanism​

Before appearing in the Alarm Center, all notifications undergo several processing stages:

  1. Grouping
    • Categorizes related alarms based on source, type, severity, and other attributes (labels)
    • Facilitates efficient management of high-volume alarms
    • Supports customizable grouping rules for diverse scenarios
  2. Consolidation
    • Mitigates notification fatigue from multiple similar alarms within short intervals
    • Presents consolidated alarms in a streamlined format, eliminating redundancy
  3. Suppression
    • Manages alarm dependencies
    • Suppresses secondary alarms when primary alarms are triggered
    • Supports configurable suppression rules based on alarm dependencies
  4. Silencing
    • Temporarily mutes specific alarms during designated periods
    • Ideal for system maintenance windows and known issue handling
    • Enables time-based silence rule configuration

Alarm Center Interface​

alarm_center

The Alarm Center provides a comprehensive view of all system alarms:

  1. Alarm Display
    • Lists all alarms with crucial information including status, source, labels, and timestamps
    • Offers detailed view functionality for comprehensive alarm information and context
  2. Search Functionality
    • Enables rapid alarm identification
    • Supports multiple search criteria (labels, annotations, alarm status)
  3. Alarm Management
    • Alarm Deletion: Removes alarms no longer requiring attention
