Monitoring List¶
With a huge amount of monitored components and thousands of new notifications each year, not all the information within Vilocify is of interest to every single user. Monitoring lists are the tool with which users can filter only the relevant information, as well as set up alerting functionality via notifications email.
Monitoring list consists of various elements:
- Basic Data: Generic information about the list, e.g. its name, comments, etc.
- Components: A set of components a user wants to monitor, e.g. based on components within a product or IT asset under his responsibility.
- Subscribers: A set of users assigned to the list, who will then receive relevant notifications via email whenever new notifications are published for the monitored components.
Monitoring lists are not public, i.e. a Vilocify user can only see lists he is subscribed to. Only admins can see all monitoring lists of their organization, regardless of whether they are subscribed to the list or not. Users can create as many monitoring lists as needed, e.g. in order to reflect IT assets under their responsibility. For additional guidance on how to create a monitoring list, please consult the corresponding Vilocify Docs page. Furthermore, it is possible to define parent-child dependencies between monitoring lists. Notifications affecting a child monitoring list will be included in the notifications email of the subscribers of the parent monitoring list. You can find all monitoring lists you are assigned to either in the monitoring list section of the Vilocify Portal, or the Vilocify REST API.
