17.3. Subscriptions Usage event notifications Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
Subscriptions Usage event notifications are opt-in alerts for when your organization has exceeded your subscription threshold. This notification includes the following option:
Instant Notification is the only option for Subscription usage.
- The Subscription Usage notification alert triggers when your organization’s usage reaches 105% capacity of your subscription threshold for a product.
You will receive one notification per month for as long as your organization’s usage reaches or exceeds 105% capacity of your subscription threshold for a product.
NoteBecause the Subscription Usage notification is sent once per month, you will not receive a second notification in the same month if you make any adjustments to your account.
The notification contains the aggregate usage for the entirety of the product in your subscription, which means you will need to look at your metrics to assess the adjustments needed for your account.
Because of the aggregate calculation used for the Subscription Usage notification, you will need to review the overall metrics for your the product subscription you received the notification for to assess the adjustments needed for your account.
The Subscription Usage event notification Behavior Group is set by default to send alerts to administrators. Administrators for your organization can set additional notification integration options including Slack, Google Chat, Microsoft Teams, by creating new Behavior Groups.
- Example for Subscription Usage
The following is an example Red Hat Enterprise Linux product subscription that demonstrates the aggregate calculation that the Subscription Notification uses, and would not trigger the notification.
An organization has the following subscriptions:
-
1 RHEL subscription with Premium / Production and
1socket -
1 RHEL subscription with Standard / Development-Test and
100sockets
-
1 RHEL subscription with Premium / Production and
-
The Subscription Usage notification compares the total RHEL socket usage against
105sockets. -
Since the organization is using
100sockets of RHEL premium, they will not be notified because the sum of all subscriptions is101.
