    Describes the Storage Labels feature.
- Administering Files and Directories
- Administering Tables
  Administration of the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database is done primarily via the command line (maprcli) or with the MapR Control System (MCS). Regardless of whether the HPE Ezmeral 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 Ezmeral Data Fabric Database administration is associated with tables, columns and column families, and table regions.
- Administering Streams
- Administering Data Fabric Gateways
  A data-fabric gateway mediates one-way communication between a source data-fabric cluster and a destination cluster. You can replicate HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database tables (binary and JSON) and HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Event Store streams. Data Fabric gateways also apply updates from JSON tables to their secondary indexes and propagate Change Data Capture (CDC) logs.

  This section describes how to monitor the health and performance of a MapR cluster.
- Configuring Security
  Describes how to configure MapR security and manage secure clusters.
- Managing Secure Clusters
  Provides procedures that will enable you to use MapR clusters securely.
- Administering the Data Access Gateway
  The HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Data Access Gateway is a service that acts as a proxy and gateway for translating requests between lightweight client applications and the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric cluster. This section describes considerations when upgrading the service, how to modify configuration settings, and how to administer and manage the service.
- Planning for High Availability
- Administrator's Reference
  This section contains in-depth reference information for the administrator.
- Troubleshooting Cluster Administration
  Lists the common errors and their solutions.
- Best Practices for Backing Up HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Information
  Lists the best practices and performance considerations to follow when backing up HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric information.

Viewing Active Volume Alarms

Describes how to view volume alarms using the Control System and the CLI.

You can view volume alarms in the Control System and using the CLI.

Viewing Active Volume Alarms in the Control System

Log in to the Control System and:

Click Data > Volumes to view all active volume alarms in the Active Alarms pane.
Note: The Volumes page is under the Volumes menu on the Kubernetes version of the Control System.
Go to the Summary tab in the volume information page to view the recent and active alarms for the selected volume in the Alarms pane.
Click (in the top navigation bar) and select Volume Alarms from the drop-down menu in the All alarms pane to view all the active volume alarms.
Click Overview and select Volume Alarms from the drop-down menu in the Active Alarms pane to view all active volume alarms.

You can:

View information related to the alarm.
Dismiss an alarm.
Mute an alarm.

See Volume Alarms for more information on the volume alarms.

Retrieving Active Volume Alarms Using the CLI or REST API

The basic command to retrieve node alarms is:

maprcli alarm list -cluster <cluster name> -type volume

For complete reference information, see alarm list.
