Configuring Alarm Notifications

After configuring alarm notifications, you can receive DBSS alarms on database risks. If this function is not enabled, you have to log in to the management console to view alarms.
  • Alarm notifications may be mistakenly blocked. If you have enabled notifications but not received any, check whether they have been blocked as spasms.
  • The system collects alarm statistics every 5 minutes and sends alarm notifications (if any).
