Configuring notifications

The Notification Service generates a notification whenever an object is written, overwritten, or deleted using the S3 protocol. The Notification Service utilizes a Producer to publish a stream of notifications to a topic. Each notification represents a single object-modifying event. You can then use a Consumer to consume the object change records and take any necessary actions.

2. On the Notification Service Summary page, click the name of an existing Notification Service to view details.
3. To create a new configuration, click Add.

   • Name: The name of this Notification Service.
   • Topic: The name of the topic on the cluster that notifications will be sent to by default. This field is optional.
