Notifications
Overview
The notification panel is the section that will provide suggestions to optimize your cluster. Notifications are organized into 3 groups: INFOS, WARNING and DANGER. Each notifications come with a way to address the issue.
How to start my notification panel
By default, notifications are not enabled. You have to set the cron expression for the property notification.check.cron. For instance:
SET_ notification.check.cron = "0 0/15 * * * ?" // every 15 minutes
After that, you can see your notifications in Monitor.
How to use my notification panel
Once your panel is enabled, you will notice several types of notifications. Each type has main buttons allowing you to contact support if necessary or to go to a specific page of documentation.
By clicking on a notification, you will be able to see the details and a button to address them.
Once you have resolved a notification, it won't disappear until the notifications are checked again. By clicking on the refresh button, suggestions will be computed again. The refresh button looks like this:
