Overview

Cloud Manager issues alerts for the database and server conditions configured in your alert settings. When a condition triggers an alert, you receive the alert at regular intervals until the alert resolves or Cloud Manager cancels it. You should fix the immediate problem, implement a long-term solution, and view metrics to monitor your progress.

Acknowledge an Alert

When you acknowledge the alert, Cloud Manager sends no further notifications to the alert's distribution list until the acknowledgment period has passed or until you resolve the alert. The distribution list receives no notification of the acknowledgment.

If the alert condition ends during the acknowledgment period, Cloud Manager sends a notification of the resolution.

If you configure an alert with PagerDuty, a third-party incident management service, you can only acknowledge the alert on your PagerDuty dashboard.
