Question #: 102
Topic #: 1
Faced with prolonged times for hardware delivery, an administrator is looking for a way to be informed on time when cluster storage capacity is running low. In order for new hard disks to be delivered on time, the administrator needs to get a warning earlier than it is set currently.
Which action should the administrator take to receive a warning about cluster storage capacity running low earlier?
Which action should the administrator take to receive a warning about cluster storage capacity running low earlier?
Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer
To receive an alert earlier, the administrator must lower the threshold at which the alert's warning state is triggered. Nutanix alerting works by comparing utilization against configured warning and critical thresholds.
If the threshold is lowered, the system reaches it sooner, which gives the administrator more lead time before the environment becomes capacity-constrained. Among the given options, the one that directly performs that function is decreasing the Storage Container Space Usage Exceeded alert Warning threshold, which is option C.
The other choices are weaker or misaligned. There is no meaningful "increase frequency" adjustment that changes when capacity is considered low; it would only change how often checks occur, not the trigger point.
Changing the critical threshold does not provide earlier warning notice, which is what the question asks for.
The wording also points more naturally to a threshold-based action rather than enabling a different alert family. In Nutanix monitoring, earlier warnings come from making the warning trigger more conservative.
Therefore C is the best answer because it causes the alert to fire at a lower usage percentage and provides earlier operational notice.
