perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

Hi,

 

I’m trying to generate email alerts for any throughput test on any grid on a maddash dashboard entitled "Performance Requirements Network Monitoring Mesh Dashboard". When performance thresholds are breached, I’m not receiving any emails even though I’m hitting warning and critical thresholds on the dashboard.  The notification filters defined below are my attempt to generate emails on the specific dashboard for performance alerts.  I brought this up on the pS user list almost 3 years ago and came away with an understanding that notification filters work this way:

 

Multiple filters of the same type are treated as OR conditions.

Multiple filters of different types are treated as AND conditions.

 

 

 filters:

      -

        type: dashboard

        value: "Performance Requirements Network Monitoring Mesh Dashboard"

      -

        type: category

        value: PERFORMANCE

    minimumSeverity: 1

 

According to maddash-server.netlogger.log, no problems are detected so an email notification isn’t sent.

 

level=INFO ts=2021-03-24T14:00:00.003372Z event=maddash.EmailNotification.send.end guid=2038f088-8c10-48f0-8a7a-3cbc4c9ea9d2 msg="No problems found so no email sent" status=0

 

If I remove the dashboard filter and just leave the category I receive email alerts on all performance breaches on all the dashboards including the sole dashboard I’m concerned with.  Flipping the order of the filters doesn’t have an impact.  For some reason the AND condition isn’t being met.

 

Am I missing anything here?

 

Thanks,

You can’t currently set those with psconfig, they can only be added directly to your maddash.yaml file. For what it’s worth, psconfig will  also not overwrite any notifications blocks you add to your maddash.yaml file.
