What does it mean, exactly, when you get an alert that the OS is unavailable? I got this trigger but I never noticed anything wrong. It implies to me that Fiveruns wasn’t communicating for some time. The server didn’t reboot or anything. Is this something I need to look into further?

Hi Yarnosh,
The “Linux Unavailable” trigger is fired when we do not receive any updates from the FiveRuns client on that particular server for the 12 minute interval.
This can be the result of the server actually being down or the client not being able to communicate for another reason, i.e. network connectivity or latency,
If your server appears to be up on your end after you have received an alert, check to make sure the FiveRuns client is running. If it has stopped, you can restart the client.
Thanks,
Rachel
