With Notification Center, you can quickly locate problems.

Notification Center Operations

  • Check Alarm Message: The notification center provides the view of alarm messages. You can check message contents, emergency levels, message types, message dates, and read and unread states.
    • The left-side dot displays the read state and unread state of alarm messages. Specifically, the red dot means unread.
    • The message content supports filters operations. Specifically, you can click the drop-down arrow of the message content. Options: All | Read | Unread.
    • The emergency level also supports filters operations. Specifically, you can click the drop-down arrow of the emergency level. Options: All | Emergent | Major | Info.
    • The message type also supports filters operations. Specifically, you can click the drop-down arrow of the message type. Options: All | Resource Alarm | Event Alarm.
    • You can set a time range to filter alarm messages via the time adjustment button at the upper left. You can check the recent 300 alarm messages within the time range that you set, including message contents, message types, message dates, and the read and unread states.
    • You can choose to display alarm message count for each page via the display count button at the upper right. Optional value: 10 | 20 | 50 | 100. In addition, you can turn pages by clicking the left arrow button and the right arrow button.
  • Mark All Message As Read: Mark all unread messages (including all time ranges) as read. If you have too many unread messages on the notification center, you may take some time to display the messages. Be patient.

Notice

  • Subjects of read and unread messages are any role who has the operation permission for the messages. If a role reads alarm messages for the first time or mark alarm messages as read, the read and unread states of these alarm messages will be synchronized to other roles.
  • An admin or platform admin can check all alarm messages. The admin or platform admin can perform Mark All Message As Read operation for alarm messages that are generated by an admin, regular account, or project. After the marking, the read and unread states of these alarm messages will be synchronized to the admin, regular account, and the project.
  • The markings of alarm messages among regular accounts are independent, indicating that these alarm messages are invisible mutually among different accounts. Different accounts can only mark their corresponding alarm messages generated by the alarms of the accounts.
  • In the Enterprise Management, alarm messages take projects as units. After a project member, project operator, or project admin reads or marks alarm messages as read, the read and unread states of these alarm messages will be synchronized to other members of this project.
  • To use the third-party alarm feature, make sure that the Cloud is connected to a third party.
  • The third-party alarm feature can be used by administrators only.
