You can change the trigger conditions for an alert, activate or deactivate alert notifications, or change the alert notification method (email, webhook, or send to VMware Aria Operations).

Note:

If your user account is assigned a role with full access for content packs and alerts, you can activate a content pack alert and modify its notifications. However, you cannot update or remove the content pack alert.

Prerequisites

  • Verify that you are logged in to the VMware Aria Operations for Logs web user interface, for which the URL format is https://operations_for_logs-host. Here, operations_for_logs-host is the IP address or host name of the VMware Aria Operations for Logs virtual appliance.
  • Verify that your user account is associated with a role that has the relevant permissions for alerts.

    If your user account is assigned a role with view access to alerts (for example, the User role), you can view and manage all the alerts in your organization.

    If your user account is assigned a role with edit or full access to alerts (for example, the Super Admin role):
    • You can activate or deactivate all the system alerts in your organization.
    • You can create, modify, and remove all the user-defined alerts in your organization.
    For information about roles, see Create and Modify Roles in Administering VMware Aria Operations for Logs.
