Configuring Service Thresholds and Alerts

To configure the default service thresholds and alert notifications for service status, complete the following:

1. From the Cloud Services Portal, click Manage -> Notifications tab.
2. On the Notifications page, click Notification Settings located on the top right-hand side of the page. You can also click the  icon on the left navigation panel, and then click the icon to configure notification delivery and thresholds for certain application notifications.
3. Click Default Application Thresholds, and complete the following:

1. • Host Notifications: This section displays the default threshold settings for on-prem host notifications. You can change the default by entering a desired value in the applicable fields, as follows:
     
     • Host CPU Usage: This metric measures the overall CPU usage of the host. The default threshold is over 90%, which means when the on-prem host's CPU usage exceeds this number, the system will send a notification.
     • Host Disk Usage: This metric measures the total disk usage of the root file system before sending a notification. The default is more than 90% used, which means the system will deliver a notification when the on-prem host's total disk usage for the root file system exceeds 90%.
     • Host Memory Usage: This metric measures the total memory of the on-prem host before the system sends a notification. The default is more than 90% used, which means the system will send a notification when the on-prem host's total memory usage exceeds 90%.
   • Service Notifications: This section displays the default threshold setting for on-prem host status. You can change the default by entering a desired value in the applicable fields. You can also select the applicable check boxes to receive alerts for the respective service status.
     • Host State: This metric measures the duration for which the on-prem host stays in Review Details state. If the host is in Review Details state for more than 300 seconds, the system sends a notification.
     • Last Host Activity: This metric measures the duration for which the on-prem host has been inactive. If the host is inactive for more than 300 seconds, the system sends a notification.
     • DNS Service Status: Select this option if you want to receive alerts when the DNS service is down.
     • DHCP Service Status: Select this option if you want to receive alerts when the DHCP service is down.
     • CDC Service Status: Select this option if you want to receive alerts when the Data Connector service is down.
     • AuthN Service Status: Select this option if you want to receive alerts when the authentication service is down.
     • Anycast Service Status: Select this option if you want to receive alerts when the anycast service is down.
