  Administration of the HPE Data Fabric Database is done primarily via the command line (maprcli) or with the Managed Control System (MCS). Regardless of whether the HPE Data Fabric Database table is used for binary files or JSON documents, the same types of commands are used with slightly different parameter options. HPE Data Fabric Database administration is associated with tables, columns and column families, and table regions.
- Administering Streams
- Administering Data Fabric Gateways
  A HPE Data Fabric gateway mediates one-way communication between a source HPE Data Fabric cluster and a destination cluster. You can replicate HPE Data Fabric Database tables (binary and JSON) and HPE Data Fabric Streams streams. HPE Data Fabric gateways also apply updates from JSON tables to their secondary indexes and propagate Change Data Capture (CDC) logs.

Viewing the List of Alarms

Specifies how to view the list of alarms raised, using either the Control System or the CLI.

About this task

You can view all the alarms on the Control System and using the CLI.

Viewing the List of Alarms in the Control System

Procedure

Log in to the Control System and click Admin > Cluster Settings > Alarms.
The ALL ALARMS pane displays all the alarms on the cluster.

Select:

Cluster Alarms — indicate problems that affect the cluster as a whole
Node Alarms — indicate problems on individual nodes
Table Alarms — indicate table replication-related problems
User/Group Alarms — indicate problems with user or group quotas
Volume Alarms — indicate problems in individual volumes

For the selected view, the pane displays the following for each alarm:

Column Name	Column Description
Alarm Name	The name of the alarm.
Severity	The user-defined severity for the alarm.
Description	A one-line description of the alarm.
Info	Information on the alarm including alarm name, description, and recommended action to address the alarm.

You can click the alarm name to configure alarm settings.

Retrieving the List of Alarms Using the CLI or REST API

About this task

The basic command to list all alarms by type (Cluster, Node, User, or Volume) is:

maprcli alarm list -type (cluster|node|volume|AE)

For complete reference information, see alarm list.
