Managing alert notifications

Alert Notifications define how and when you want to be notified when thresholds are met. Alerts can be sent to you when a specific set of criteria is met. Once defined, they are saved with a name and can be assigned to any Alert Policy. For example, a warning alert might only send an email to an Administrator and a critical alert would send an email to the Administrator and the engineering team.

The Inventory also displays badging to indicate the alerts on the specific objects with the ability to view relevant reports. Even if you do not configure Alert notifications, monitoring still continues and this same information can be viewed on-demand through the different Alert reports - where events can be captured and drilled into for root-cause analysis.
