Manage Alerts

Stay Informed with n2x.io Alert Manager

The n2x.io Alert Manager proactively notifies you about critical events or performance issues within your nodes. This empowers you to take timely action and prevent potential problems.

Alert Manager monitors various aspects of your nodes and triggers alerts when it detects:

  • Node resource utilization exceeding thresholds (CPU, Memory, Disk above 90%)
  • Node connectivity issues (offline/disconnected)
  • Node reboots

Enhance Alert Management with Integrations

n2x.io integrates seamlessly with common incident response and communication platforms to extend your alert management capabilities.

PagerDuty Integration

Leverage the power of PagerDuty to streamline your incident response workflows. When you configure PagerDuty integration, all critical alerts from your n2x.io account will be automatically forwarded to your PagerDuty service, ensuring your team receives timely notifications.

Slack Integration

Enhance collaboration and keep your team informed with the n2x.io Slack integration. Once configured, the alert manager will send notifications to your designated channel whenever an alert is triggered within your n2x.io environment.

List Alerts

Warning

Only Account Administrators or Admin Users can manage alerts.

You can list the alerts of your tenant either using the n2x.io webUI or CLI (n2xctl):
