Alarm

Early Access  

Alarm is not enabled for all users. If you’d like to try it out, please email our support team for early access.

The Alarm feature in Qntrl enables proactive monitoring of Bridge performance by allowing users to configure alerts based on system metrics. With customizable thresholds and real-time email notifications, alarms help detect anomalies early and ensure uninterrupted operations.

Key Highlights   

• Monitors Bridge health with alerts for CPU, Disk, Memory, and Failed Jobs.
• Triggers automatic email notifications when thresholds are breached.
• Supports historical trend analysis for performance insights and capacity planning.
  

 

How It Works   

Bridge metrics are collected periodically and evaluated against configured thresholds. If a metric crosses the specified threshold, the system triggers an alarm and notifies the configured recipients via email for immediate action.

Alerts can be set for the following parameters:

• CPU Utilization – Prevent system overloads.
• Disk Utilization – Ensure sufficient disk space.
• Memory Utilization – Monitor RAM consumption.
• Failed Jobs – Identify and respond to automation failures.
  

​

Benefits of Alarm

1. Performance Insights: Tracking parameters like CPU and Disk utilization provides insights into power consumption and system load, helping identify performance bottlenecks.
2. Error Detection: Swiftly detects errors that could lead to system failure, ensuring optimal performance.
3. Consistent System Health: Monitoring CPU usage, memory utilization, disk usage, and job success ensures these critical attributes stay within acceptable limits, promoting consistent system health and optimal performance.
