Configuring Alerts on Windows Instances

To view the configured alerts or configure new ones, navigate to Operating Windows Instances, select a Windows Instance and access the Alerts tab .

Alerts get triggered whenever a configured condition is met. You can create multiple alerts on an instance. Alerts are sent to recipients that you can define and manage.

Subscribers can configure alerts for instances running on the Apiculus. Subscribers can define alerts for Instances and configure the email recipients for these alerts using a straightforward and easy-to-use interface.
