Using Alert Notifications

Using Alert Notifications settings, you can modify notification settings based on alert type, severity, and frequency.

Considerations

• To enable Alert Notifications, you must have all your ZVM sites transmit data to Zerto Analytics.
• This does not apply to CSP/MST accounts as they do not have control of the Draas machines.
• Re-enforcing a site to transmit data to Zerto Analytics will not be enforced if the site stops transmitting data.
• Alerts Notifications is supported from Zerto v7.0.
• Alerts are configured per user - you cannot set alerts for other users.
• Acknowledging an alert through the ZVM triggers a 'Resolved' email to be sent to the user, however, the alert is still active.

Accessing Alert Settings

You can access Alert Settings from one of the following:

• Zerto Analytics drop-down menu.

• Zerto Analytics Monitoring Page.

The Alert Notification Settings window appears.

Navigating the General tab

• Your username is your MyZerto email address.

• Your MyZerto email address must match the one used to log into Zerto Analytics.
• To send alerts to a dedicated distribution list, you can configure a new MyZerto account using the distribution list email address.
Configuring Alert Severity
• You can enable and disable alert notifications by severity. For example, disabling Errors will stop alerts of that type from being sent.

Defining Alert Notification Frequency
• Do not send the same alert again for: Select this to stop the same alert type/severity/status being sent repeatedly within the selected time frame.
• Send notification when alert is resolved: Selected by default. You will receive an email notification instead of an alert.

Testing email

You can validate Test Alert Notifications by sending a test email to your myZerto email address.

Note: You have only 5 attempts per minute to send a test email.

Navigating the Alert Types tab

A list of all the Zerto alert types is displayed. You can enable and disable alert notifications in the Severity column.
