Understand the alert

The linux_power_supply_capacity alert is triggered when the remaining power supply capacity of a Linux system is low. A warning state occurs when the capacity falls below 10%, and a critical state occurs when it falls below 5%. This alert indicates that the system may run out of power and shut down soon.

Troubleshoot the alert

  1. Restore power: Connect the system to a power source to recharge the battery and prevent an unexpected shutdown.

  2. Check battery health: Inspect the health of the system's battery. If the capacity is consistently low or degrading, consider replacing the battery.

  3. Consider a UPS: If your system experiences frequent power interruptions, you may want to integrate an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to provide temporary power and prevent system shutdowns.

  4. Monitor power supply metrics: Keep an eye on power supply metrics, such as remaining capacity and charge/discharge rate, to ensure the system is functioning optimally.
