Alert Configuration

Overview​

Setting up alert notifications for your virtual machines (VMs) involves a simple two-step process:

  1. Create an Alert Notification Group.

  2. Configuring Alerts

Creating an Alert Notification Group​

  • Navigate to the Monitoring window and click on the 'Notification Group' icon in the left-hand menu.

  • Click the 'Create Notification Group' button.

  • Enter a Name and Description for the notification group.

  • Enable or disable email alerts using the toggle button in the E-mail Enabled section.

  • Provide a list of email addresses that will receive notifications whenever an issue occurs based on the configured alert rules.

  • To receive alerts via Slack, enter your Slack channel address in the designated section to get VM service notifications directly in that channel.

  • Click 'Create' to finalize the setup.

  • The notification group is now successfully created.

Configuring Alerts​

  • Once the notification group is created, select the appropriate VM from the Server List.

  • In the VM Monitoring Dashboard, navigate to the 'Alerts Configuration' tab.

  • There are four types of alerts available:

    • Memory Utilization

    • Disk Usage

    • CPU Load

    • Host Down Status

  • Select the VM for which you want to configure alerts, then choose the appropriate Notification Group from the drop-down list under the 'Notification Group' section.

  • Click the 'Update' button to save the changes.

  • Alert settings have been successfully configured.

  • Whenever an alert is triggered, you will receive an email notification, and the alert status will be visible under the 'Notifications' tab.
