Notifications Upgrade

Alert Logic upgraded the Notifications feature to add new notification types. If you previously subscribed to incident or health status notifications in the Alert Logic console, your notifications are still active and sent to subscribed recipients.

For more information about the updated Notifications feature, see Notifications and Manage Notifications.

New notification types

Alert Logic added two new types of notifications:

• Log correlations—You can now set up and save a log correlation rule and configure it to create an observation or an incident and send a notification when a match occurs.
• Scheduled reports—You can set up and save a report schedule to generate a report periodically and send a notification when the report is generated. If you previously set up a Health Status notification, Alert Logic upgraded it as a scheduled report. After a scheduled report is generated, Alert Logic saves it for viewing and download.

Incident notification upgrade

Alert Logic created equivalent subscriptions that trigger on the same conditions.
