Alert Subscription Configuration Critical Notification Rule

Microsoft.SystemCenter.HealthServiceModules.AlertSubscriptionDataSourceModule.ConfigurationRule.Critical (Rule)

This rule checks if a rule or monitor using the Alert Subscription Data Source module is providing the right configuration.

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

Configuration monitor indicates a problem with configuration of the Notification subsystem. The notification configuration may be a corrupted state or is unable to read it from the corrupted state.

Causes

Notification subsystem was unable to retrieve the state because of database errors. The state is being set from the module configuration. You may see duplicate notifications. Another problem could be that Notification subsystem was not able to read the state information. Notification subsystem was unable to read time zone information and reverted to UTC.

Resolutions

Notification subsystem is unable to generate notification messages due to configuration problems. This may be due to one of many reasons.

Check if the subscription information has been set correctly.
Check to make sure your Operations Manager and especially the Notification subsystem is configured correctly.
Inspect the messages in the Operations Manager event log. Other indications of problems in the system may direct you to further diagnostic steps. There may be other failures in the Operations Manager runtime.
The subscription might be missing time zone information. The Notification subsystem has reverted back to using UTC for displaying time sensitive fields in the notification messages.
Backup and recreate your subscriptions for Operations Manager.
