Brand new deployment, and I'm getting bombarded with pages/sec critical alerts for every server OS that I have running.
I looked in Alerts, but see no place where "Pages/sec" alerting is defined.
What you're probably running into is the "Pages/Sec" component of an application monitor template is hitting the critical threshold, and that's making the application go critical. The application being in status critical is what's firing the alert. There's a default alert named "Alert me when an application goes into a warning or critical state".
You've got a couple options to quiet the noise:
- turn off the email alert action for the "Alert me when an application goes into a warning or critical state"
- modify the template(s) (guessing Windows Server 2019 Service and Counters) and delete the numeric value for the critical threshold on that counter
- bulk modify the application to delete that critical threshold counter value
If you go with the second or third option, you can give it a week or so and then modify the application/template to select the "use baseline threshold" for that counter. That gives it enough time to get an idea of what's "normal" for each box so it's less noisy.
Great information! So I went into the Application Monitor Details for "Windows Server 2019 Service and Counters", and clicked Edit.
Expanded the "pages/sec" section, and clicked "OverRide Template". Then I clicked "Use Latest Baseline Thresholds".
Which changed the threshold numbers to something much greater!
Was this what you were referencing? Hopefully this quiets the noise, because my VM's are NOT RAM deficient.
Yep, that's what I was talking about.
Well, now I'm getting spammed by the same Template, but different alert. "The Application Windows Server 2019 Services and Counters on SERVERNAME is currently in a state of up." Other Hardware and software.
Again, can't find anything that references disabling that. Sorry, and thanks in advance.
