Alert subscription

You can set alert subscription on OCP after the alert channel is configured.

Background

You can receive alert notifications only when the following two conditions are met:

• The administrator has configured an alert channel.

• You have subscribed to an alert.

To send alert notifications from OCP, perform the following steps:

1. Configure an alert channel. The administrator configures the alert channel.

2. Create a new subscription. You can configure the subscriptions.

3. Configure the settings for receiving notifications. You can configure whether to receive notifications and the reception limits.

The operation interface of OCP may vary with the version. The following describes how to use TopSQL and SlowSQL to facilitate troubleshooting on OCP V2.4.4. For operations on OCP of other versions, see the OCP User Guide of the corresponding version.

Configure the settings for receiving notifications

You can configure the settings for receiving notifications.

You will also receive fault recovery notifications for alerts that you have subscribed to. Fault recovery notifications cannot be aggregated. To avoid receiving too many such notifications, we recommend that you disable fault recovery notifications.

The following table lists the setting items for receiving notifications. You can customize the settings as needed.
