Failover Management

To monitor the current state of the failover setup, the appliance provides information through several mechanisms.

  • Alerts can be configured to send email during an error condition; for example, if failover occurs or a resynchronization error occurs.
  • Detail events are logged internally to record the history of the failover state.
  • Configuration of Alert monitoring of failover events (and others) is performed on the Alerts > Manage Alert Rules page. All pre-configured System Alerts are visible on this page.
    Manage Alert Rules
  • Click Alert Name to open the General tab, where you may edit the preconfigured Alert settings, and select other System Alerts.
  • The Alert Receivers tab appears next to the Devices tab (or General tab, for a System Alert) when you create a new alert. You must specify an alert receiver for which the alert can be triggered in this tab.

    The appliance can generate an alert to be sent to an alert receiver when the alert rule is triggered. The Alert Receivers tab lists all the available alert receivers configured for the appliance.

  • Email recipients for System Alerts appear on the Email Recipients tab. All admin users are automatically selected to receive System Alerts. Other users can be configured on the Management > Users > Privileges tab.
  • To search for all operational events on the LogLogic appliance, select Reports > Operational > System Events and click the Create Report button. Follow the onscreen prompts to generate the report.
  • The RAS Warning page of the GUI displays the status of the failover in real time.
