Products

Issue/Introduction

Starting in vRealize Log Insight 4.5 and later, the ability to disable Alert snoozing has been added to the internal configuration options.

By default, this configuration is disabled, allowing Alerts to be snoozed.

Resolution

To access the Alert snoozing configuration, follow the steps below.

1. Log in to the vRealize Log Insight config UI as admin using the URL https://LogInsight_Address/internal/config.

Note: Replace LogInsight_Address with the address of the Log Insight instance.

An XML representation of the non-default options is displayed.

2. Under the <alerts> tag, will be <disable-alerts-snoozing>.
3. Set the value of <disable-alerts-snoozing> to true to disable Alert snoozing.

Example: <disable-alerts-snoozing>true</disable-alerts-snoozing>
Note: The default value of false allows Alert snoozing.

4. Click Save.

When <disable-alerts-snoozing> is set to true, then alerts email notifications will not be snoozed and will be sent to a user according to the alert's configuration.
