Alerting

You can create alerts based on performance data metrics for all configured devices.
Any metric that is collected by the tool can be selected for alerting.
Configure it via the UI ➡ Settings ➡ Alerting ➡ Configuration
Define email groups under "Email" tab at first.

How to create a new dashboard

Alerting cfg 1

Put a name, select a class, subsystem (volume) and volumes here via regex ('.*' means all volumes on all storage devices) ➡ Add
Alerting cfg 2

Select a metric (Latency)
Alerting cfg 3

Then via a "+" sign in the alert line on the right you can add more metrics to be alerted for the same alert group.

Basically, the alert is sent when any device goes to the "red" status in the global health status dashboard.
Once a device goes back to "green", clear alert is sent.
