As a virtual infrastructure administrator, you need VMware Aria Operations to send alerts in JSON or XML to a Webhook with any endpoint REST API that accepts these messages. You want only alerts where the virtualization alerts that affect availability alert types to go to an external application. You can then use the provided information to initiate a remediation process in that application to address the problem indicated by the alert. The notification configuration limits the alerts sent to the outbound alert instance to those matching the notification criteria.
Prerequisites
- Ensure that you have at least one alert definition for which you are sending a notification. For an example of an alert definition, see Create an Alert Definition for Department Objects.
- Ensure that at least one instance of the Webhook Notification Plugin is configured and running. See Add a Webhook Notification Plugin for Outbound Instance.
Procedure
Results
