About the Notifications Widget

The Notifications widget is the most informative and configurable widget.

The Notification page lists all the alerts and notifications.

It includes the following features:

  • Severity Levels: Green (low), yellow (medium), or pink (high).

    • High severity notifications are related to issues impacting multiple users and often across multiple accounts. Typically, a high severity notification stems from a cloud being unavailable. The pink color highlights the high severity notifications.

    • The medium severity notifications issue signifies that someone is unable to use the system (examples include failure to the start labs or the errors deploying vApps). The yellow color highlights the medium severity notifications.

    • Low severity notifications are related to information such as daily summaries. The green color highlights the low severity notifications.

Note:

You can sort notifications based on the severity of the notification.

  • To expand and view the details of a notification, click the Expand arrow.

  • Notification Subscription: While notifications appear on a dashboard, you can also enable the system to email you the notifications. To open the Notifications Subscription List, click Subscription. From there, you can add an email address and set criteria for which the system must send out notifications. Once you define a subscription, each time a notification that meets your criteria occurs, the system emails it to everyone who has subscribed, and showing it on the dashboard.

    Note:

    In the Notifications Subscription list, severity levels are represented as 1, 2, 3 (1= Pink, 2=Yellow, and 3=Green).

  • Archive: Displays the Notification Archive List which lists all archived notifications.
