Defining notification settings for alerts

You can define the alert notification settings to determine the actions that are taken when alert conditions are detected for a resource. The settings are applied to all of the alert definitions that are specified for the resource.

1. To define notification settings for alerts, choose one of the following options:

   Option	Steps
   Define notification settings for alerts in a policy	Go to Configuration > Alert Policies. Double-click the policy. Click Edit Policy Notifications.
   Define notification settings for alerts for a resource that is not managed by a policy	Go to the resource list page for the resource. For example, to modify notification settings for alerts for a block storage system, go to Resources > Block Storage Systems. To modify notification settings for a switch, go to Resources > Switches. Right-click the resource for which you want to define alerts, then click View Alert Definitions. Click Edit Notifications in the Resource Notifications area.

2. If you want to send email notifications of alert violations, enter the email addresses in the Email Addresses field.
   Tip: If you enter an email address in the Email Addresses field, only that email address receives notifications for the alert. The following contacts do not receive notifications:

   • Any email addresses that are specified as policy contacts, if the alert is in an alert policy.
   • Any global email addresses that are specified for alert notifications. To view the global alert notification addresses, go to Configuration > Settings .
3. Click Save Changes.
