Configuring Alerts
Overview
Setting up alert notifications for your virtual machines (VMs) involves a simple two-step process:
-
Create an Alert Notification Group.
-
Assign the Notification Group to a Monitoring Service.
Creating an Alert Notification Group
- Navigate to the Monitoring window and click on the 'Notification Group' icon in the left-hand menu.
