Alerts

4min

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.

Note: Review the Alerts Guides for setting up alert triggers.

The Alerts module includes three sections.

Incidents

The Incidents module includes a list of edge devices for which there is an incident. Incidents are generated alerts that are based on triggers. System triggers are preloaded, and user triggers are created in Alerts.

The Incidents pane includes filters for selection of a group list, state, and date range filters for Opened Before, Opened After, Closed Before and Closed After.

Triggers

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
  • Pagerduty

Notification Settings

From the Notification Settings 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.
