Monitoring Notifications

Message summaries and important notifications, if any, are displayed at the top of the page.

These messages include notifications or alerts such as security alerts, ongoing quota breaches, ongoing or planned outages, alerts related to order management (pending approvals or activation), promotions, or upcoming scheduled maintenance requests.

Maintenance reservation alerts are also displayed for services such as Compute, Cloud Infrastructure Container Service Classic, Database Cloud as a Service, Database Backup Cloud Service, Golden Gate Cloud Service, MYSQL Cloud Service, Java Cloud as a Service, Application Platform as a Service, SOA, and Identity Cloud Service.

To view all the notifications:

Sign in to Applications Console or Infrastructure Classic Console.

Sign in to the Applications Console if you want to work with Oracle Cloud Applications. Sign in to Infrastructure Classic Console if you want to access Oracle Cloud infrastructure and platform services. If you see Infrastructure Classic at the top of the page when you sign in to Oracle Cloud, then you are using Infrastructure Classic Console and your subscription does not support access to the Oracle Cloud Console.
Do one of the following:
- Click View Notifications on the Dashboard.
- Click the bell icon to view all notifications for the selected domain or account.
