mail notification for a specific custom alert

[mouloud_denfir]

Hello,

I'm newbie and I try to set up a custom alert and send an email the server have a problem.

So I created a custom alert from anomaly detection section, add a tag on the service impacted and applyed this tag to an alerting profile which contain the email address.
however i would like to match only my custom alert and not all the monitored service.

How can I proceed to do this.

Regards

Hi Denfir,

If you only want to be alerted on the custom alert, then ensure that only the Custom alert rule is in your alerting profile and remove others( remove Availability, Error, Slowdown and Resource alert rules). Also ensure that the custom alert rule is filtered to have the specific tag that you placed on the service you want alerts for. Then create a problem notification with this alerting profile and enter your email address as the recipient. This should do what you want.

Thanks
