Creating an alert
When you create an alert, you must specify the alert type, define triggering conditions, and attach an notifier list containing details about the alert recipients or channels. Specific parameter of the configuration depend on the alert type.
Before you begin
- You must have the Manage notifier lists permission enabled to create an alert.
- To configure an incoming zone transfer alert, you must have a secondary zone configured to receive updates from one or more primary servers.
About this task
When you create an alert, you can either create a notifier list that contains the recipients or you can select an existing list. For example, if no list exists and you want to send notifications to recipients through email and Slack, you create a list that includes the recipients email and Slack channel when you create an alert. Whereas if you already have a list with the particular email and Slack recipients, you can attach that list when you create an alert. Any notifier lists that were created for other alerts, including those for monitoring alerts, are available for you to choose from.
You can add multiple lists of recipients to an alert.
