# Status window

Contents

The Status window provides messages about the functioning and health of each managed file system.

The Status window shows current active and past alerts.

## View all status messages

Click Status to view all status messages. All messages are displayed most-recent first. Note that warning and error messages are displayed as alerts. The Status window displays messages in five categories:

• | Command Running: These messages are gray in color and inform you of commands that are currently in progress, running. These are commands that you have entered at the manager GUI.

• | Command Successful: These messages are green in color and identify commands that have completed successfully. You can click Details and then click the command link to learn about underlying commands and their syntax.

• | Info messages - These messages are displayed in blue. Events are normal transitions that occur during the creation or management of the file system, often in response to a command entered at the GUI. A single command may cause several events to occur. An event message informs you of an event occurring at a single point in time.

•

Warning alerts: Warnings are displayed in orange. A warning usually indicates that the file system is operating in a degraded mode, for example a target has failed over so that high availability is no longer true for that target. A warning message marks a status change that has a specific Begin and End time. A warning is active at the beginning of the status change and inactive at the end of the status change. For example, a warning message may inform you that an OST has gone offline, and that message is active until the OST becomes operational again Not all warnings necessarily signify a degraded state; for example a target recovery to a failover server signifies that the failover occurred successfully.

• | Errors alerts: Errors are displayed in red. An error message indicates that the file system is down or severely degraded. One or more file system components are currently unavailable, for example both primary and secondary servers for a target are not running. An error often has a remedial action you can take by clicking the button.

## Common Searches

At the Status window, under the Common Searches drop-down menu, you can select from the searches listed next.

Note that you can modify any of the searches below. First select the search type. Then edit the string that is displayed in the Search field, and click Search or press the Enter key.

• | Search active alerts: Display active alerts (warnings and errors) that currently reflect the state of the file system. This search will list only active warnings and errors that have not been resolved.

• | Search alerts: Display all alerts (warnings and errors) that have been generated since the file system was created. This includes active and inactive alerts (alerts that have been resolved).

• | Search commands: Display all commands that have successfully executed and those that are currently in process.

• | Search events: Display all information messages (events) that have occurred since the file system was created.

## Alert bar

Note that the red Alert bar briefly appears on the GUI if there are any active error or warning alerts on your system. Clicking Details opens the Status window and reveals the current, active alerts.

## Using the Search field

The Status window also incorporates an auto-complete search function. Simply begin enter text into the search field to use this.

You can run searches using the following rules:

1. | Keywords can be filtered using the equals sign (=) or "in" keywords. Examples:

▪ | severity = ERROR

▪ | severity in [WARNING, ERROR]

2. | Filters can be joined using the "and" keyword. Example:

▪ | severity = ERROR and active = true

The following table lists field names, associated types, and information about that field.

Field name | Type | Field description
active | boolean | True or False depending if record is active
record_type | string | Identifying type of the record
severity | string | String indicating the severity one of ['INFO', 'DEBUG', 'CRITICAL', 'WARNING', 'ERROR']

Here is an example query:

active = true

record_type = CorosyncNoPeersAlert

severity in [ERROR, WARNING]
