The NetCloud Manager Alerts feature provides a means to automatically notify users when the operational state of their devices change. Users can be notified of device state-change events by creating Alerts.
Alerts are messages generated by NetCloud Manager in response to specific operational-state changes that a device may experience. These operational state-change events can be triggered by changes in connectivity (loss of WAN connectivity, etc.), environment (excessive hardware temperature, geo-location changes, etc.), and user actions (intrusion activity, failed logins, etc.).
Alerts are implemented as part of an Alert Notification Rule (Alert Rule). One or more Alert Types are combined into a single Alert Rule. Alert Rules are applied at the account or group level. This allows a single Alert Rule (containing one or more Alert Types) to be applied to all groups in an account, or to one or more groups in an account.
Notifications triggered by an Alert Rule can be email messages sent to notify users or push (Webhook) payloads sent to applications. For more information on Webhooks, refer to Webhook Details and Code Samples .

Reporting functionality is contained on the INSIGHTS page. The INSIGHTS page provides the ability to create and export reports and logs, including Alert Log reports. Refer to NetCloud Manager Insights for more information on creating Alert Log reports.
