Health alerts

Understand the health alerts generated by the Network Observability Operator, which trigger banners when conditions like Loki ingestion errors, zero flow ingestion, or dropped eBPF flows occur.

A health alert banner that directs you to the dashboard can appear on the Network Traffic and Home pages if an alert is triggered. Alerts are generated in the following cases:

  • The NetObservLokiError alert occurs if the flowlogs-pipeline workload is dropping flows because of Loki errors, such as if the Loki ingestion rate limit has been reached.

  • The NetObservNoFlows alert occurs if no flows are ingested for a certain amount of time.

  • The NetObservFlowsDropped alert occurs if the Network Observability eBPF agent hashmap table is full, and the eBPF agent processes flows with degraded performance, or when the capacity limiter is triggered.
