You can view and create alert monitors for your Keystone subscriptions from the Keystone dashboard in BlueXP. The dashboard displays both system-generated and user-defined monitors for capacity usage and subscription expiration. You can create monitors to set thresholds, choose alert severity, and add email recipients for notifications. This functionality is not available in Digital Advisor.
View alert monitors
To view alert monitors, follow these steps:
-
From the BlueXP left navigation menu, select Storage > Keystone > Monitoring > Alert monitors.
You can view a list of alert monitors across your Keystone subscriptions, including monitor names, alert conditions that trigger notifications, severity levels, subscription numbers, performance service levels, and status. You can check the Created by column to determine whether the alert monitors are system-generated or user-defined.
