Cloud service providers can add, manage, and edit your notification rules for tenants in VMware Aria Operations.

Prerequisites

Before you can create and manage your notification rules, you must configure the outbound alert plug-in instances. For details on configuring outbound plug-ins, see Adding Outbound Notification Plug-Ins.
Note: Chargeback allows you to only add a Standard Email Plug-In for outbound alerts.

Procedure

  1. To manage your notifications, from the left menu, click Operations > Configurations, and then click the VCD Tenant Notifications tile. On the toolbar, click Add to add a rule, or click the vertical ellipsis and select Edit to edit the selected rule.
  2. Enter the following notification details.
    Option Description
    Name Provide a name for the notification rule.
    Description Describe the notification rule.
    Notification Status Either activate or deactivate a notification setting. Deactivating a notification will stop the alert notification for that setting and activating it will activate the alert notification.
  3. Click Next.
  4. Select if you want to send notification at the organization level or at a specific OVDC level. The list of OVDCs/Organizations is updated based on your selection.
  5. From the list of OVDCs/Organizations, drag and drop the OVDC or Organization that should receive a notification, into the left pane.
    Note: You can only add those OVDCs that have email addresses and email outbound instances configured. To configure email addresses and email outbound instances, see Configuring Tenant Email and Add a Standard Email Plug-In for Outbound Alerts respectively.
    The notifications will be sent to all selected OVDCs with configured email addresses and email outbound instances.
  6. Click Next.
  7. Define criteria for the notification rule. From the list of alert definitions, drag and drop the alert definition for which you want to trigger a notification, into the left pane.
    Note: By default, the filter Only Tenant is set to Yes.
    The notification will be sent when ANY of the selected alert definitions triggers an alert.
  8. Click Create.

What to do next

You can view the created notification from Operations > Configurations, and then click the VCD Tenant Notifications tile.
