Table 11:Alert Modules

  1. It is recommended to set email alerts or SMS alerts to improve the efficiency of getting alerts. For a detailed configuration of alert notifications, refer to the Chapter 10.5 Alert Options.
  2. Log in to the HCI console, and navigate to System > System Maintenance > Alerts to enter the Alerts interface.

  1. On the Alerts interface, you can view the alert log severity, time, object type, alert object, event, description, and the number/total number of unacknowledged alerts. After discovering the alert information, deal with it in time and eliminate the alert information.

  1. On the Alert interface, you can also view all alerts, filter alerts, and search for alerts.
