Subscription Notification Recipients

To configure recipients for subscription-related event notifications, go to the "Subscription Notification Recipients" section.
You can choose to have email notifications sent for subscription-related events to any or all of the following recipients:

  • All Account Owners

  • All Monitor & Optimize Administrators

  • Additional Email Addresses that you specify

The following are examples of the types of notifications that might be sent, and user actions you can take.

Global Recipient List for Alerts

Email notifications of alerts are sent to the alert recipient list for every action on the alert. You can choose to send alert notifications to a global recipient list.

To configure global alert recipients, choose the desired recipients in the Global Monitor Notification Recipients section.

You can always override the global recipients list for an individual monitor when creating or modifying the monitor.

Note ONTAP Data Collector notifications take precedence over any specific Monitor notifications that are relevant to the cluster/data collector. The recipient list you set for the Data Collector itself will receive the data collector alerts. If there are no active data collector alerts, then monitor-generated alerts will be sent to specific monitor recipients.

Editing Notifications for ONTAP

You can modify notifications for ONTAP clusters by selecting Edit Notifications from the upper-right drop-down on a Storage landing page.

ONTAP Edit Notifications

From here, you can set notifications for Critical, Warning, Informational, and/or Resolved alerts. Each scenario can notify the Global Recipient list or other recipients you choose.
