Severity

Condition

Text

Corrective Action

Major

Bandwidth utilization is greater than 90%.

"Cluster Bandwidth is above 90% utilization on Interface name: <name>. No more transcoding sessions will be allocated on that Cluster Interface"

Reduce the number of Media Components on the Cluster interface. Alternatively, the overall permitted bandwidth for the Cluster interfaces should be increased, if possible, using the ini file parameter [MtcClusterNetworkMaxBandwidth].

Minor

Bandwidth utilization is between 85 and 90%.

Note: If a Major alarm was sent and the bandwidth later declined to between 80 and 85%, the alarm is changed to Minor.

"Cluster Bandwidth is above 85% utilization on Interface name: <name>"

Cleared

Bandwidth utilization is less than 80%.
