Configuring Alarm Notifications by Severity

Scenarios

When creating an alarm policy, you can notify recipients in notification groups or topic subscriptions of alarms by severity. This helps reduce repeated alarms and ensures important ones are not missed.

Prerequisites

You have added recipients for receiving alarms with different severities, channels, and time frames to different notification groups or topic subscriptions. For details about how to configure a notification group, see Creating a Recipient and Notification Group. For details about how to configure a topic subscription, see Creating a Topic.

Creating a Notification Policy

1. Log in to the Cloud Eye console.
2. In the navigation pane, choose Alarm Management > Alarm Notifications.
3. On the Notification Policies tab, click Create and set the parameters as prompted. For details, see Creating a Notification Policy.
   Click Add Scope and configure multiple notification scopes in a notification policy. For each scope, specify the alarm severities, notification channels, time frames, and choose either specific notification groups or subscription topics receive alarms. This setup allows sending notifications based on severity, channel, timing, and recipients.
