Efficient management and optimum productivity of databases is one of the cornerstones of VMware Data Services Manager. Availability of prompt and real-time notifications about the databases can help you take on-time action to resolve or prevent critical issues.
Alert notifications can be send to an application or endpoint that you configure, for example, Email alert, Slack, ServiceNow, and so on.
Editing Alert Settings
As a DSM administrator or DSM user, you can edit default alert settings for the following parameters:
- CPU Health
- Data Disk Health
- System Disk Health
- Max Connections
You can configure the threshold values of these parameters for warning alert and critical alert. If any of these parameters cross the threshold values for a period of 10 minutes or more (as configured), a warning alert or critical alert is sent to the Webhooks configured for the database.
Prerequisites
Make sure that you have Webhook settings configured and associated with a database. See Configuring Webhook Settings
