Alerts for Enterprise Workloads
Updated over a week ago

This topic provides an overview of alerts. It also includes information about the severity of the alerts and type of alerts. Management Console currently displays alerts only for Hybrid Workloads. Alerts for AWS and Azure Workloads will be integrated at a later stage.

What are alerts

Druva generate alerts to indicate an exception situation or notify about a potential issue that needs attention. For example, when cloud storage usage exceeds 80%, an alert is created. The Alerts page displays the list of generated alerts in your environment, sorted by severity to prioritize critical issues for administrators.

An alert remains active until resolved and is listed in the Alerts. Once the underlying event or exception is fixed, Druva considers the associated alert resolved, removing it from the Dashboard and Alerts pages. The Alerts History report provides a record of both active and resolved alerts for your workloads. For more information, see Reports.

Who can view alerts

By default, all Enterprise Workloads administrators, such as cloud administrators, organization administrators, group administrators, custom administrators, and data protection officers, are subscribed to alerts. Additionally, cloud administrators and their custom administrators, organization administrators and their custom administrators, as well as data protection officers, have the ability to manage alert subscriptions for non-administrators. The subscribed administrators and non-administrators receive email notifications in the event of job failures, reports, and so on.


πŸ“ Note
​Administrators can unsubscribe themselves from the alerts using the My Subscriptions tab on the Alerts Subscriptions page. For more information, see Alert subscriptions for administrators.


What is the severity of alerts

Alerts are prioritized based on their severity to assist administrators in addressing critical issues first. The following list provides details about the severity of the alerts:

  • Critical: Requires immediate resolution

  • Warning: Requires timely resolution, with lower priority compared to critical alerts

  • Information: Informative in nature that may not require administrator-assisted resolution
