Throttling the notifications
Notifications in Resiliency Platform are raised when changes occur due to new operations that are performed or any configuration settings are changed. Some events in Resiliency Platform are short-lived and are auto-cleared when the event condition is successful. In Resiliency Platform, multiple notifications are raised due to which it is difficult to track the real issues. From version 4.0 of Resiliency Platform, throttling notifications feature is introduced that helps in suppressing the notification (with specific duration) for some time. The suppressed notification is not seen in the notification list under Logs > Notification tab.
For example: If a vCenter server is disconnected, a notification is raised. You can throttle this notification for specific duration and is not seen under the notification list.
If a notification is throttled for some duration, and it gets cleared before the specified duration then this notification is not seen under the notification list under Logs > Notifications tab.
For example: When a resiliency group is created, "Replication state synchronizing" notification is raised. If this notification is throttled for 5 minutes, and meanwhile the resiliency group is created and is in ONLINE state before the specified duration, the notification gets cleared and is not seen under the notification list.
Following are the points to remember:
If you have throttled any notification for a specific duration, it is not seen in the notification list until the specified duration.
If the condition of the notification is still valid, it shall be displayed in the notification list.
The associated throttled notifications may get removed if the source is deleted from the Resiliency Platform.
Notifications can be throttled for infinite duration.
For some events where clearing event is not assigned to a particular source, such events has "indefinite time period" duration set by default.
For example: Risk Service, Reporting Service, Scheduling Service, rg.migrate.success, risk.notify.suppress.risk, vmware.vc.ims.refresh.success, etc.
Using Resiliency Platform console, you can add, edit, and remove the throttling notifications of the respective sources. You can group by object and notification topic from the list. The sources for which the notifications are generated in Resiliency Platform are:
