You can configure vRealize Log Insight to send notifications related to its own health to third-party applications.

vRealize Log Insight generates these notifications when an important system event occurs, for example when the disk space is almost exhausted and vRealize Log Insight must start deleting old log files.

Prerequisites

Verify that you are logged in to the vRealize Log Insight web user interface as a Super Admin user, or a user associated with a role that has the relevant permissions. See Create and Modify Roles for more information. The URL format of the web user interface is https://log-insight-host, where log-insight-host is the IP address or host name of the vRealize Log Insight virtual appliance.

Procedure

  1. Expand the main menu and navigate to Configuration > General.
  2. Under the Alerts header, set the system notifications.
    1. In the Send HTTP Post System Notifications To text box, type the URLs to be notified.
    2. (Optional) Confirm that the Send a notification when capacity drops below check box and associated threshold are configured correctly for your environment.
  3. Click Save.

What to do next

Configure a webhook to send notifications to your third-party application. For more information, see Configure a Webhook.
