Get event notifications

This topic describes how to configure the sending of notifications related to Zesty Disk filesystem metrics.

After notifications are configured, you can edit or delete those configurations.

You can get notifications for the following events:

• Zesty Disk

  • Critical events: events that could have a direct effect on the functioning of Zesty Disk

    • Resize failure: filesystem fails to extend as expected

    • Agent failure: Agent stopped reporting to Zesty backend
      This notification will be sent if no reports are generated for 45 minutes or longer.

  • Info: Zesty Disk defined metrics were reached

    • Filesystem utilization: a filesystem has reached a specified percentage of utilization

    • Filesystem size: a filesystem has exceeded a specified size (in GB)

• Unused resources

  • Policy updates

  • Unused resources events

You can configure notifications to be sent to email addresses or to public Slack and public MS Teams channels.

You can enable multiple notifications as part of the same notification set, or create them each separately, with notifications going to separate targets for each.

In addition, you can see new notifications directly from the platform by clicking the bell icon next to your username.

You configure all notification settings, including integrating with Slack or MS Teams, from the Notification Management page.
