Notification Groups can be created in the Notification Groups view. Once a notification group is created, you can set notifications on a stream to send email alerts to the notification group for designated stream events. Notification groups can also be edited or deleted in the Notification Groups view, and the Notification Groups view shows a listing of created notification groups or search for a specific notification group.

Creating a notification group

Before you can begin sending notifications for stream events, you must first create a notification group.

1. In the Notification Groups view, click the Create notification group button.

   

2. In the Create notification group pop-up, enter the Group Name, Group Description, and one or more recipient email addresses in Recipient email. The Group name and Recipient email are required fields.

   

3. Once done, click Save. The new notification group appears in the Notification Groups view.

   

4. Create new notification groups by clicking the Create notification group button in the Notification Groups view.

Viewing a notification group

The Notification Groups view lists all the created notification groups, its name, when the group was last modified, the number of recipients, and the Edit and Delete buttons for the notification group. Expanding the group in the view shows the description of the group and the email addresses of the email recipients.

You can use the search bar in the view to search for a notification group by name.

Editing a notification group

Notification groups can be edited after they are created, to change or to add details about the group, or to add new email recipients.

1. In the Notification Groups view, click the Edit button on the same row of the notification group you would like to edit.

2. In the Edit notification group pop-up, you may change the Group Name, Group Description, and Recipient email of the group.

   

3. Once done click the Save button.

4. Click Save in the prompt to confirm the changes.

   

5. You are returned to the Notification Groups view with a banner indicating the successful edit to the notification group.

   

Deleting a notification group

You can delete notification groups when they are no longer in use or required.

1. In the Notification Groups view, click the Delete  button on the same row of the notification group you would like to delete.

2. Click the Delete button in the prompt to confirm that you would like to delete the group, The delete option permanently removes the notification group. 

   

3. You are returned to the Notification Groups view with a banner indicating the successful deletion of the notification group.

   

Set stream notification

To enable a stream to send notification emails to a notification group, you have to set notifications for the stream, when to send the email, and to which notification group.

1. In the Streams View, on the same row of the solution under the Actions columns, click the More button. For more information, see Streams View.

   

2. Click Set Notifications.

   

3. In the Send email when pop-up window, check the stream event you want to be notified of and select the notification group from the drop-down menu to inform by email.

4. Click Apply.

There are several options, available as checkboxes, that can be set to send the desired notifications. 

To avoid large amounts of emails being sent for the same issue, there is a cool-down period of 30 minutes during which email sending is suspended. During this time, you will only receive one email for a specific problem in a specific stream, even if your stream has multiple collectors with the same issue, for example when files are not found.  

For more information, see Streams View.
