I enabled IDP alerting on the SSR cluster. It initially started working, but after ~5 minutes it went into the down state. Several minutes later it entered the disabled state.

IDP is in disabled state after enabling it.

You can see the current IDP state by entering the following at the shell, see example output below:

# show idp application status
