Dell PowerFlex 4.5.x Administration Guide

Add a notification policy

When you add a notification policy, you define the rules for processing events or alerts from sources, and to which destinations that information should be sent.

1. Go to Settings > Events and Alerts > Notification Policies.
2. Click Create New Policy.
3. Enter a name and a description for the notification policy.
4. From the Source Type menu, select how you want events and alerts to be received. The source type options are:
   • Snmpv2c
   • Snmpv3
   • Syslog
   • Powerflex

     PowerFlex related alerts are generated and forwarded to a webhook destination when the notification policy is configured with the Source Type set to Powerflex.

5. From the Resource Domain menu, select the resource domain that you want to add a notification policy to. The resource domain options are:
   • All
   • Management
   • Block (Storage)
   • File (Storage)
   • Compute (Servers, Operating Systems, virtualization)
   • Network (Switches, connectivity etc.)
   • Security (RBAC, certificates, CloudLink etc.)
6. Select the check box beside the severity levels that you want to associate with this policy. The severity indicates the risk (if any) to the system, in relation to the changes that generated the event message.
7. Select the required destination. You can choose one or more destinations. For a webhook, you can have up to three destinations defined.
8. Click Submit.
