On-premises DNS

When on-premises DNS generates alert events, the system sends alert notifications to specified alert recipients based on your alert settings for events of specified alert levels.

Procedure

  1. Access Alibaba Cloud DNS - Alert Settings.

  2. Switch to the On-premises DNS tab.

  3. Configure alert notifications.

    Alert Level: Currently supported alert levels include Severity, Advanced and Above, Intermediate and Above, and All Levels.

    Repeated Alert Notification Time: Set the time for repeated alert notifications.

  4. Set alert methods.

    You can select Email Notification, Text Message Notification, Webhook Notification, and Syslog Notification.
