Alerts
Alerts occur when an event triggers an action. You can add actions and triggers in the Alerts module that can use events to send notifications.
Review the following guides for setting up alert triggers:
The Alerts module includes two sections.
From the Actions List section, you can add, modify, and view actions that is used by a trigger. The action sends a notification (Email, Slack, Webhook, Pagerduty) when a trigger is applied.
The Triggers section includes user-defined triggers. A trigger uses an event or a metric to trigger an action, which in turn sends a notification.
You can create, view and modify user-defined triggers for the actions listed. An alert occurrence is registered as an incident and is shown in the Incidents module. The generated alert appears in the Events tab in Edge Device Details.
Alert Options:
- Email
- Webhook
- Slack
