Alert Conditions

Overview

For each group or global alert you create, you must set a target and a condition or metric. The target points to what changed: the Ops Manager component. If your condition becomes true or a metric meets your set threshold, Ops Manager triggers an alert.

To set a condition:

  1. Select a Target from the list.
  2. Select a condition in the condition/metric list.

Ops Manager triggers an alert when the condition is true on the specified target MongoDB instance.

To set a metric:

  1. Select on a Target from the list.
  2. Select on a metric in the condition/metric list.
  3. Select if this metric should be Below or Above the threshold.
  4. Type a threshold value. All thresholds are numbers.
  5. Select the unit of measure for the threshold.

Ops Manager triggers an alert when the metric threshold is met on the specified target MongoDB instance.

Host Alerts

When setting an alert for a host, select the host type that applies to this alert and the condition that triggers this alert.

Host Types

For host type, set an alert for all or one of the following types of MongoDB processes:

Set Host Type to: Alert Includes
Any type All the types described in this table.
Standalone Any mongod instance that is neither part of a replica set or sharded cluster nor used as a config server.
Primary All replica set primaries.
Secondary All replica set secondaries.
Mongos All mongos instances.
Conf All mongod instances used as config servers.

Host Alert Conditions

Change in Host Status

You can set an alert for when MongoDB instance changes. Host status conditions include:

Condition Alert Trigger
Host added Ops Manager starts monitoring or managing a mongod or mongos process for the first time.
Host removed Ops Manager stops monitoring or managing a mongod or mongos process for the first time.
Host added to replica set The specified type of mongod process is added to a replica set.
Host removed from replica set The specified type of mongod process is removed from a replica set.
Host has restarted Ops Manager detects that a host has been restarted.
Host is recovering A secondary enters the RECOVERING state. To learn more about the RECOVERING state, see Replica Set Member States.
Host does not have the latest version

The revision of MongoDB running on a host is two or more revisions behind the current stable release of MongoDB.

Example

If the current stable release is MongoDB 3.2.9, a host running MongoDB 3.2.8 would not trigger an alert but a host running MongoDB version 3.2.7 would trigger an alert.

For more information on MongoDB version numbering, see MongoDB Version Numbers in the MongoDB manual.

Host’s SSL certificate will expire within 30 days The SSL certificate for a MongoDB instance is 30 days from expiration. Ops Manager resends the alert every 24 hours until resolved or acknowledged. If you do not resolve or acknowledge the alert and the certificate expires, Ops Manager continues to send the alert. If the certificate expires, the Monitoring Agent can no longer connect to the MongoDB instance.
Host is down

Ops Manager does not receive a ping from a host for more than 4 minutes. Under normal operation, the Monitoring Agent connects to each monitored host about once per minute. Ops Manager waits 4 minutes before triggering the alert to minimize false positives, as would occur during a host restart.

If the host continues to be unreachable, the Monitoring Agent eventually reduces ping frequency to every 5 minutes for a mongod and every 20 minutes for a mongos. If a mongod or mongos again becomes reachable, Ops Manager recognizes the process within 5 minutes.

If Ops Manager Automation does not manage a mongos process and that process remains unreachable for 30 days, Ops Manager removes the process from the Deployment tab. However, if you restart the mongos process, Ops Manager detects it.

To resolve this alert, see Host Down.

Replica Set Alerts

You may set alerts about the status of the primary and the number of healthy members in a replica set. Replica set conditions include:

Condition Alert Trigger
Replica set elected a new primary

A set elects a new primary. Each time Ops Manager receives a ping, it inspects the output of the replica set’s rs.status() method for the status of each replica set member. From this output, Ops Manager determines which replica set member is the primary. If the primary found in the ping data is different than the current primary known to Ops Manager, this alert triggers.

Receiving this alert does not always mean that the set elected a new primary. This alert may also trigger when the same primary is re- elected. This can happen when Ops Manager processes a ping in the midst of an election.

Replica set has no primary

A replica set does not have a primary. Specifically, when none of the members of a replica set have a status of PRIMARY, the alert triggers. For example, this condition may arise when a set has an even number of voting members resulting in a tie.

If the Monitoring Agent collects data during an election for primary, this alert might send a false positive. To prevent such false positives, set the alert configuration’s after waiting interval (in the configuration’s Send to section).

For resolutions, see No Primary.

Replica set metrics include:

Metric Alert Trigger
Number of healthy members is A replica set has fewer healthy members than your specified threshold.
Number of unhealthy members is A replica set has more unhealthy members than your specified threshold.

Sharded Cluster Alerts

You may set an alert for a mongos missing from a sharded cluster. Sharded cluster conditions include:

Condition Alert Trigger
Cluster is missing an active mongos Ops Manager cannot reach a mongos for the cluster.

Agent Alerts

You may set alerts for agent status or versioning. Agent conditions include:

Condition Alert Trigger
Automation Agent is down No Automation Agent is detected for at least 1 minute. Under normal operation, the Automation Agent sends a ping to Ops Manager roughly once every 10 seconds. If Ops Manager does not receive a ping for at least 1 minute, this alert triggers. However, this alert never triggers for a group that has no managed hosts or managed agents configured.
Monitoring Agent is down

No Monitoring Agent is detected for at least 7 minutes. Under normal operation, the Monitoring Agent sends a ping to Ops Manager roughly once per minute. If Ops Manager does not receive a ping for at least 7 minutes, this alert triggers. However, this alert never triggers for a group that has no hosts configured.

Important

When the Monitoring Agent is down, Ops Manager triggers no other alerts for any host. For example: if a host is down there is no Monitoring Agent to send data to Ops Manager that could trigger new alerts.

Monitoring Agent does not have the latest version The Monitoring Agent is not running the latest version of the software.
Backup Agent is down

The Backup Agent for a group with at least one active replica set or cluster is down for more than 1 hour.

To resolve this alert:

  1. To see which host serves the Backup Agent, click Deployment, then the Servers tab.
  2. Check the Backup Agent log file on that host.
Backup Agent does not have the latest version The Backup Agent is not running the latest version of the software.
Backup Agent has too many conf call failures

The cluster topology known to monitoring does not match the backup configuration from conf calls the Backup Agent makes.

The number of attempts meets the threshold you specified in maximumFailedConfCalls setting.

Note

Global alert only

Backup Alerts

You may set alerts for backup oplog, resync and inconsistencies. Backup conditions include:

Condition Alert Trigger
Backup oplog is behind

The most recent oplog data received by Ops Manager is more than 75 minutes old.

To resolve this alert, see Backup Oplog is Behind.

Backup requires a resync

The replication process for a backup falls too far behind the oplog to catch up. This occurs when the host overwrites oplog entries that backup has not yet replicated. When this happens, you must resync backup, as described in the procedure Resync a Backup.

Also, check the corresponding Backup Agent log. If you see a “Failed Common Points” test, one of the following may have happened.

  • A significant rollback event occurred on the backed-up replica set.
  • The oplog for the backed-up replica set was resized or deleted.
  • High oplog churn caused the agent to lose the tail of the oplog.
Inconsistent backup configuration has been detected

Ops Manager has detected that the configuration for a backup does not match the configuration of the MongoDB deployment it backs up.

To resolve this alert, see Inconsistent Backup Configuration.

Inconsistent cluster snapshot count is…

Ops Manager fails a consecutive number of times to successfully take a cluster snapshot. This alert is triggered when the number of attempts meets your specified threshold.

The alert text may contain the reason for the problem. Common problems include:

  • There was no reachable mongos. To resolve this issue, ensure that there is at least one mongos showing on the Ops Manager Deployment page.
  • The balancer could not be stopped. To resolve this issue, check the log files for the first config server to determine why the balancer will not stop.
  • Could not insert a token in one or more shards. To resolve this issue, ensure connectivity between the Backup Agent and all shards.
Backup could not be assigned to a backup daemon

A backup job fails to bind to a Backup Daemon.

Example

Reasons that a job might fail to bind include, but are not limited to:

  • No primary is found for the backed-up replica set. At the time the binding occurred, the Monitoring Agent did not detect a primary. Ensure that the replica set is healthy.
  • Not enough space is available on any Backup Daemon.

In both cases, resolve the issue and then restart the initial sync of the backup.

As an alternative, you can manually bind jobs to daemons through the Admin interface. See Jobs Page for more information.

Note

Global alert only

Backup has reached a high number of retries

Sends an alert if the same task fails repeatedly. This could happen, for example, during maintenance. Check the corresponding job log for an error message explaining the problem.

Contact MongoDB Support if you need help interpreting the error message.

Note

Global alert only

Backup is in an unexpected state

Something unexpected happened and the Backup state for the replica set is broken. You must resync the backed-up replica set, as described in the Resync a Backup procedure.

In case of a Backup is in an unexpected state alert, check the corresponding job log for an error message explaining the problem. Contact MongoDB Support if you need help interpreting the error message.

Note

Global alert only

Replica set has a late snapshot

A snapshot has failed to complete before the next snapshot is scheduled to begin. Check the job log in the Ops Manager Admin interface for any errors.

Note

Global alert only

Sync slice transfer has not progressed in…

An initial sync has started but then subsequently stalled. Issues that can cause this, include, but are not limited to:

  • processes that are down (agents, ingest, backing databases)
  • network issues
  • incorrect authentication credentials

Note

Global alert only

Backup job is busy for…

One backup job has been working for more hours within a 24-hour period than your specified threshold.

Different backup jobs share Backup Daemons or snapshot stores. Backup job execution time can vary. Long running backup jobs can cause the remaining jobs to fall behind or fail. Set this metric to how long you expect backups should take to complete in your deployment.

You should check the corresponding job log for error messages. Contact MongoDB Support if you need help interpreting the error message.

Note

Global alert only
