Create and Modify Event Notifications for Targets and Connectivity Options

This section shows you how to create and modify event notifications within Oracle Data Safe for target databases, Oracle Data Safe private endpoints, and Oracle Data Safe on-premises connectors.

Creating Event Notifications for Target Registration

In Oracle Data Safe you can create event notifications for target registration related events. You can use the quickstart template for common events or the advanced event notification workflows to create notifications.

Prerequisites:

Ensure you have the necessary permissions in Identity and Access Management (IAM) to create event notifications. For more information, see Permissions to Use Contextual Event Notifications in the Administering Oracle Data Safe guide.

To create notifications:

  1. In Oracle Data Safe, click Target databases.
  2. Click the Notifications tab.
  3. Click Create notification.

    If you don't have any notifications created for the selected resource then you will see a list of available quickstart templates. You may click on one of these instead.

    The Create notification side panel is displayed.

  4. Select to create an event notification from either a Quickstart template or an Advanced event notification.

    A Quickstart template allows you to select from a list of common event scenarios. When you create a notification from a quickstart template, the rule and event is created automatically.

    Note:

    The rule and event are created in the compartment that you were working in when you started the notification workflow. Rules and events only trigger for the compartment and any child-compartments of the compartment that they were created in.
  5. If you selected Quickstart in the previous step, make a quickstart Template selection.

    If you selected Advanced event notification in the previous step, type in a rule name and select an event type.

    See Target Database Event Types in the Administering Oracle Data Safe guide for more information on events.

  6. Select to either Create new topic or to Select existing topic.
  7. Select a Compartment.

    Note:

    This compartment is where the topic will be created, not where the rule and event will be monitored in.
  8. If you're creating a new topic, type the topic name or, if you're using an existing topic, select the topic name.
  9. Select a Subscription protocol.
  10. Provide the necessary inputs for the selected subscription protocol.
  11. Optionally, click Show advanced options to tag the notification.
    1. Click Add tag to create an additional optional tag to organize and track resources in your tenancy.
    2. Select a Tag namespace from the drop-down list.
    3. Provide a Tag key and Tag value.
  12. Click Create notification.
