turn off health monitor emails

[joshua strebel]

Where is the setting for turning off the emails for the new health monitoring system?

 

[H.W.B]

i don't know where you can turn them off, but i have change the configuration file.

I the health monitor the is an option to download the configuration file.

When you have done open this file wilth an XML editor.

There you will find values for serveral items.

I have changed al 20 and 30 to 90 and 80.

So the have to go to that percentage before there is an alarm (and an email)

Wonder why the Apache CPU is being put at 20 as my webserver with some weblogs (20 domains or so) from a new installation with plesk 10.01 gets 27% or something like that ..

 

[ugr|dual]

above 20% load from apache alone is a LOT.

optimize apache.

turn them off please..
edited the xml file and pulled all the <alarm/> lines

This is just a test service i just play around with with.. was emailing a few hundred notices a day.

please add a "OFF" button for notificaiton

OMG Yes add the ability to turn this off. Its is becoming chronic since the upgrade. I'm getting thousands of emails every day as the mail server CPU usage spikes even though the CPU sits around 10% for 99.99% of the time.

any news here ??

Igor, would you be so kind and paste here an example config of health monitor with this "notificationEmail" in use ?

Or anything else in this config what disables email notifications ?

Thanks in advance.

From /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/health-config.xml

= Misc =
This element defines how the alarm notification e-mails should be sent.
The "alarmsInterval" attribute defines how often (in minutes) the health monitor should be checked for new alarms appearance. As soon as such check-up detects a new alarm, a notification e-mail is sent.
The "notificationSubject" attribute sets the Subject line for alarm notification e-mails.

The "notificationEmail" child element defines an alarm notification recipient. If the element is omitted, the alarm notifications are sent to the Panel admin's e-mail address.
The "address" attribute defines e-mail address to which the notifications will be sent.
The "name" attribute defines the recipient name. For example, "John Doe".

Constant notifications!

I would love to turn these off, but, why is CPU usage so high since the update? This has to be a Plesk issue. I don't want other things on my server being slow to respond or having issues because of a Plesk CPU usage bug. Please get this fixed rather than forcing us to ignore the problem.

Please give us an option to turn off this horrid "experimental package". OR, give us a way to make it useful for goodness sake.

I receive 300 emails a day -- EVERY DAY. My server administer and my webhost have been unable to turn this lousy thing off after 3 or 4 attempts.

If you must keep it. Put it in the Control Panel where it can be disabled or set from the Control Panel. Yikes this is bad software!

 

[GearTalk]

I hired a system specialist to kill it and they turned off the psa-health-monitor-notificationd service and set it for manual restart only. This has killed the notifications.

This is on windows only as it is what is checked on and it is what I guess so far as if you are referring to that you want it off.

Services -> Parallels System Heath Notifier

Go to its properties and stop the service and mark startup type as disabled.

Otherwise try updating on custom-health-config.xml file

Find:
<Misc alarmsInterval="5"/>

Replace with:
<Misc alarmsInterval="5" notificationEmail="off"/> (I don't know with this one about if it will work as you can guess and if it does let me know)

try updating on custom-health-config.xml file

Find:
<Misc alarmsInterval="5"/>

Replace with:
<Misc alarmsInterval="5" notificationEmail="off"/> (I don't know with this one about if it will work as you can guess and if it does let me know)

Ryan, this way it won't work.

If you need to modify section Misc of custom-health-config.xml to change the email address where the notices goes to please expand Misc key in that way:

<Misc alarmsInterval="5" notificationSubject="The server have some problem">
<notificationEmail address="[email protected]" name="MyServerName"/>
</Misc>

It works for me even in Plesk 11 version.
Certainly it does not turn off the notices at all, but when you consider also tweaking threshold values to 95 or 100 percent, it will make you get maybe 1 email in 2-3months or never depending of load of your machine.

Is there anyway to make the monitor check say 3 times over x minutes and only then send the notification? Currently, it sends a notification even for a momentary transient.

From /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/health-config.xml

In this file there is written:
<!--#ATTENTION!
#
#DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE BECAUSE IT WAS GENERATED AUTOMATICALLY,
#SO ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST THE NEXT TIME THE FILE IS GENERATED.

How do I change this file permanently?

 

[IgorG]

Use /usr/local/psa/var/custom-health-config.xml for custom configuration. More details here - http://kb.parallels.com/111283
