Creating Notification Policies

About this task

Notification policies allow you to monitor potential errors in a specific system. When you create a notification policy, the notification policy monitors the system log for the system you specify. When a system log event occurs that meets or exceeds the notification level of a notification policy, an alert is sent to the specified users.

Note: If you do not receive notifications for events, it might be that you do not have the system log level set to produce entries that would trigger a notification or you did not enable the notification policy. For more information about specifying system log settings, see Specify System Log Settings. For more information about enabling email notification policies, see Enabling Email Notification Policies.
