Setting up profiles

You can use profiles to enable or disable SMTP, SNMP, and Slack alerts. A default profile is installed when IBM® Software Hub is installed. The default profile enables SMTP and SNMP. If an administrator has set up SMTP or SNMP, these alerts are forwarded by default.

About this task

Note: Currently, you cannot set up custom alert profiles.

Alert profiles are defined in zen_alert_profile extensions.

For example, the following alert profile extension enables SMTP, SNMP and Slack alerts.

  extensions: |
    [
      {
        "extension_point_id": "zen_alert_profile",
        "extension_name": "zen_alert_profile_default",
        "display_name": "Default alert profile",
        "details": {
          "name": "default",
          "description": "Default alert profile which enables all possible alerts, as long as the respective configuration details are provided via endpoints.",
          "alerts": {
            "smtp": true,
            "snmp": true,
            "slack": true
          },
          "smtp":{
            "registered_email_ids": []
          }
