Hi,

 

I'm trying to de-clutter my monitoring. Is there a way, to decrease log-level of "Parity-Check started"? It's just a regular maintenance task that I want to be logged, but not as important, to raise alarms. Definitely no action is needed for this entry.
 

Event: Unraid Parity-Check
Subject: Notice [MY-STORAGE] - Parity-Check started
Description: Size: XX.0 TB
Importance: warning

Not as far as I know.    Having said that since a parity check is a relatively infrequent operation and can badly degrade overall performance while it is running maybe the 'warning' level is deemed appropriate.

 

If you are using the Parity Check Tuning plugin to help manage parity checks better then I have reduced all the similar warnings it generates to only be at 'normal' priority.

Thanks, but It's not exactly, what I need. I'll try to filter this notification on a different level.

It would be nice to get more visibility here because I agree the severity seems off for this type of event.

A parity check start event is a desired expected action. Labeling it as "warning" suggests something unexpected or undesired has occurred, which isn’t true for routine maintenance. Infrequency alone doesn't justify a warning level; parity checks are part of normal operations, even if run weekly or monthly.

If severely degraded performance is a concern, IMHO that should be monitored/alerted via actual resource metrics (e.g., sustained high iowait, disk queue depth, throughput drops, etc.), not assumed from the start of a scheduled parity check.

I posted about this earlier... In my case I was rebuilding the server and this was on a new array with a new Parity Drive.
