Configuring Notifications
Learn about configuring notifications for your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure VMware SDDC.
The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Notifications service broadcasts messages to distributed components through a publish-subscribe pattern, delivering secure, highly reliable, low latency and durable messages for applications hosted on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and externally.
Use the Notifications service to send notifications whenever VMware Solution detects a problem for which you want to be notified. You can also create an alarm that is triggered for any health defect in your ESXi bare metal host instances.
VMware Solution integrates directly with the Notifications service so you can enable notifications from the Create or Edit SDDC workflows. Alarm and notification messages are sent by email or PagerDuty protocol. One notification protocol type is used in an SDDC for all notification messages.
VMware Bare Metal Instance AlarmsYou can enable alarms that monitor your ESXi bare metal host instances. Alarms are triggered when the number of health issues for a bare metal instance are not zero. Any non-zero value indicates a health defect.
When you enable alarms for an SDDC, all bare metal ESXi host instances in the SDDC are monitored. A separate alarm with a unique name is created for each instance. You can also choose the severity for the alarm, the interval at which the metric is emitted, and the delay time that the condition must be maintained before the alarm triggers.
VMware EventsServices emit events for resources or data. For example, VMware Solution emits events for SDDCs ESXi hosts. Services emit different types of events for resources, which are distinguished as event types. SDDCs and ESXi hosts have event types of create and delete, for example. Event types are the changes that produce events by a given resource.
For general Events service information, see Overview of Events.
