Notifications
The platform currently supports email-based notifications for the following cases:
- online/offline status notifications (heartbeat)
- notifications for certain log messages
- metrics monitoring for device metric thresholds
For example, if a package update is successfully installed, file distribution fails or results with a warning or the CPU/disk/network usage reaches or exceeds a defined threshold, the qbee-agent will generate a log message with an associated severity level. You can receive email notifications for these events if you have configured them.
The notifications are sent to the email address associated with your qbee.io account.
To ensure that you receive notifications, make sure that your email provider does not block emails from qbee.io, and qbee.io e-mails are not marked as spam.
Severity levels¶
The severity levels order is as follows:
Info > Warning > Error > Critical
If you set the severity level to "Warning," you will also receive notifications for "Error" and "Critical" events. Setting the level to "Info" will include all notifications.
Setting up online/offline notifications¶
1. Enable Heartbeat Monitoring:¶
Navigate to the configuration settings page. In the "Monitoring" section, check the "Enable heartbeat monitoring" option.
2. Enable Email Notifications:¶
Go to your user profile. Ensure the "Email notification" option is checked.
3. Configure the notification:¶
a) If you want to be notified only when a device goes offline:
On profile page select "Heartbeat" and "Warning".
b) If you want to be notified both when a device changes status from online to offline and vice versa:
On profile page select "Heartbeat" and "Info".
Setting up configuration monitoring notifications¶
1. Enable Email Notifications:¶
Go to your user profile. Ensure the "Email notification" option is checked.
2. Configure the notification:¶
Select the severity level and the specific configuration section(s) you want to monitor.
For example, if you want to receive notifications for all File Distribution changes, select "File Distribution" and "Info".
You can choose to monitor multiple metrics. The metrics are defined in the metrics monitoring configuration. There you can set the threshold.
In future versions, we plan to add more notification options and channels.
