Multiple notification policies

Post by ctvader » 1 person likes this post

Is it possible to create multiple notification profiles? We're using one instance of Veeam One for three different VMWare installs and need to alert only the admins for their specific site. I read the user guide but it doesn't seem straightforward to me.

Thank you.

Hi Jeffrey,

Currently Veeam ONE has only one default notification group which is added to all our predefined alarms, however you can add individual email addresses and trigger conditions to the alarms/objects if you want to use more granular notification policies.

Thanks!

Vitally,

Thank you for the reply. Are there plans in the future to offer multiple notification policies? It would be a huge help but it also looks like your idea would work.

+1 to this. Definitely a major lacking feature in my opinion. I am currently unable to split up responsibility for alerts based on datacenter.

Hello Mark and welcome to the community!
Have you considered duplicating an alarm to assign each to its datacenter based on the infrastructure location?
That should be working.

I see your point. You need to do it only for VM alarms. How many datastores do you have?
We are going to add the option in feature versions by the way.

3-4 datacenters/datastores in one vcenter server.

I'll wait for the future release. For now i've found the few alarms most critical and duplicated. But going forward to be able to assign an entire datacenter/cluster to send notifications to a group would be great.
