Notification content
When a periodic notification is delivered, it includes:
Overview:
-
Total number of governance issues
-
Total number of tables involved
-
Total number of nodes involved
Breakdown by dimension (included only if issues are found in that dimension):
| Dimension | Details included |
|---|---|
| Computing | Total issues; nodes involved; CUs consumed; top N issues by issue count |
| Storage | Total issues; tables involved; storage consumed; top N issues by issue count |
| R&D | Total issues; nodes involved; tables involved; top N issues by issue count |
If no governance issues are found in a dimension, that dimension is omitted from the notification. If the total number of issues to handle is zero, no notification is sent.
