Monitoring alerts and logs
You can view and manage the alerts that are generated in the management system environment. You can filter alerts and
perform the appropriate actions.
Every chassis in the MCM group receives Fabric alerts, irrespective of whether the MX5108N or MX9116N IOMs present in the
chassis to accommodate new MX5108N or MX9116N IOMs in the chassis.
To view the alerts page, from the menu bar, click Alerts. The Alerts page with the following tabs is displayed:
● Alert Log
● Alert Policies
● Alert Definition
Topics:
• Alert log
• Alert policies
• Alert definitions
Alert log
The Alerts Log page displays the list alert logs for events occurring in the chassis. On the menu bar, click Alerts > Alert
Log. The Alerts Log page is displayed. You can view the alerts details—severity of the alert, timestamp, source, category,
subcategory, message ID, and description of the alert.
The Alerts Log page displays 30,000 records. Select an alert to view the summary of the alert on the right side of the Alerts
Log page. You can also perform the following tasks on the Alerts Log page:
● Acknowledge alerts
● Unacknowledge alerts
● Ignore alerts
● Export alerts
● Delete alerts
The latest unacknowledged alerts are displayed on the OME–Modular home page.
In MX9116N and MX5108N IOMs, when an uplink is removed and reinserted from the same port within 60 seconds, the latest
alert message is not displayed on the Alerts Log page. This is because the deduplication interval is set to 60 seconds to avoid
recurrence of alerts.

1. On OME–Modular web interface, navigate to Alerts > Alert Log.
