Set Up Notification Channels

When an alert is raised, worsens in severity, or clears, you may want to be actively notified through email, by push notifications (mobile devices), or have a third-party application take action. You can define these types of notifications by using the notification channels.

Types of Notification Channels

Classes of notification destinations are called notification channels. Notification channels allow you to set up and reuse functional groups of notification recipients, such as regional administrators, IT managers, or other Web servers without having to specify a large number of individual destinations repeatedly. After you set up a notification channel, you can reuse the channels across different alert rules.

The following notification channels are available for use:

  • Email: Allows you to manage/logically organize the email recipients of alert notifications. For example, you can create an email channel for the On-Call Team that contains the email addresses of the IT operators that staff the on-call team, or a DBA Team email channel that contains all email addresses of database administrators in your department.

  • Mobile: Allows you to send push notifications to one or more mobile phones that are associated with Oracle Management Cloud users.

  • Integration: Allows you to send HTTP POST (WebHook) messages to a destination URL by integrating the alerts with your organization's existing channels.
