Add a notification to an alert configuration

You can add notifications to an alert configuration that will email specified addresses when an alert is generated. You can also send notifications to an SNMP listener.

1. Log into the Web UI on the ExtraHop Discover or Command appliance.
2. Click the System Settings icon and then click Alerts.
3. Open the alert you want, and then click the Notifications tab.
4. From the Severity list, specify one of the following severity levels for the generated alert:
   • Emergency
   • Alert
   • Critical
   • Error
   • Warning
   • Notice
   • Info
   • Debug
   You can specify the severity level for the alert without adding notifications. Although the severity level is displayed in emails, the level also appears in the Alert History.
5. Select Send SNMP trap to specify whether notifications are sent to an SNMP listener.
   Users with administration privileges can configure the SNMP listener in the ExtraHop Admin UI.
6. In the Email notification groups section, select the email groups that can receive notifications when an alert is generated.
   The Default group is selected by default. Users with full system privileges can configure additional email groups in the ExtraHop Admin UI.
7. Optional: In the Additional email addresses section, specify any email addresses that are not included in a selected group, but should receive notifications when an alert is generated.
8. Optional: In the Additional metrics in emails section, enter any additional metrics you want to include in the notification email.
   Enter the metric names, one per line, into the window or click the Find metric... button to search for a metric.
9. Click OK.
