Monitoring Splunk

Why won't disk space Health Status alert go away?

Splunk Enterprise 8.0.4.1

There was a low disk space issue and Health Status alert was raised as expected. But now there is plenty of disk space and the message says:

04-22-2022 15:05:05.257 +0000 WARN DiskMon - MinFreeSpace=5000. The diskspace remaining=221121 is less than 2 x minFreeSpace

221121 is definitely not less than than 2x5000

Am I missing something or is it a bug?

@jankowsr  - Can you please once try to run Health Checks manually once? (Settings > Monitoring Console > Health Check > Start)

* Also, open Splunk in Incognito Window to see the results once.

I hope this helps!!

@jankowsr  - I would check on my browser incognito windows.

And wait for a day to see if it gets auto resolved if it's not mission critical.

Otherwise/Then I will raise a support case with Splunk.

The screenshot I provided was already incognito window.

And in my opinion the fact whether it was incognito mode or not should not matter. At the end web application should manage cookies/etags/browser cache/whatever and if it needs incognito window in order to work properly I would still consider it as a bug. Unless we suspect that client browser or intermediate proxy does not honor web standards but it's typically not the case.
