Chapter 6. Example: Configuring email notifications for advisories affecting your systems

Procedure

1. In the Hybrid Cloud Console, navigate to Settings > Notifications.
2. Under Notifications, select Configure Events.
3. Select the application bundle tab you want to configure event notification behavior for. For this example, select Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
4. Click the Behavior Groups tab.
5. Click Create new group to open the Create behavior group wizard.

6. Enter a group name (such as Content advisories), and then click Next.

   

7. From the Actions drop-down list, specify how you want to receive the notification. For this example, select Send an email:

   

8. Select a recipient from the Recipient drop-down list. You can specify that the email notification go to all users in the organization, or you can limit the recipients to administrators in the organization. If User Access groups are configured, you can select a User Access group to receive email notifications.

   • Optional: To receive notifications in a third-party tool, click Add action to configure an additional notification method. If you select an integration such as Integration: Slack, Integration: Splunk, or Integration: Webhook, select an integration endpoint from the Recipient drop-down list.

     Note

     Configure endpoints for each integration in Settings > Integrations. If an action is disabled, no integrations exist for that event type. To configure third-party integrations to receive notifications, see Integrating the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console with third-party applications.

9. When you have finished configuring how to receive your notifications, click Next.

10. From the Associate event types screen, select the Content event type to be notified of content advisories, and then click Next.

    
11. Review the settings you selected for the behavior group. To save the settings and create the behavior group, click Finish.

Procedure

1. In the Hybrid Cloud Console, navigate to Settings > Notifications > Notification Preferences. The My Notifications page appears.

2. Opt in to content notifications:

   1. Search for the Content service and select it. A list of the available event notifications for the content service opens.
