Setting Up Notitications

​
Customizing Alerts

  • Business Hour Policies: Receive notifications only during specified times
  • Targeted Alerts: Direct SLA or Security notifications to relevant teams
  • Limit Redundancy: Prevent notification fatigue by avoiding duplicate messages

​
Best Practices

  • Review Regularly: Ensure your notification settings align with current organizational needs
  • Use Notification Groups: Organize recipients by function (e.g., NOC Team, Security Team)
  • Integrate with Other Tools: Connect notifications with external services (e.g., Slack, Microsoft Teams) for streamlined workflows
