Notification Targets

A Notification target allows you to receive alerts using your preferred channel or alert delivery method. Every Notification requires one or more targets.

Available target types include:

  • Webhook
  • PagerDuty integration
  • Slack
  • AWS SNS
  • Email
  • System Messages (default)

When you create a new Notification, its default target type will be System Messages. When an event occurs in Cribl Edge to trigger a Notification condition, you will see an indicator in the Messages icon. Select the icon to open the Messages drawer and view the Notification details.

Add a Notification Target
​

To add a new Notification target:

  1. In the Cribl Edge sidebar, select Notifications, and then select the Targets tab.
  2. Select Add Target to open the New Target modal.
  3. Give this target a unique Target ID.
  4. Select the desired Target type.

Then configure the target as described in the appropriate page:

When you create a Notification target in Cribl Stream, Edge, or Search, it will also be available to you in the other products. For example, if you create a Notification target in Cribl Stream, you can also access it in Cribl Edge and Cribl Search.

Notifications require certain plan/license tiers. Without an appropriate license, target configuration options will be hidden or disabled in Cribl Edge’s UI.

Manage Notification Targets
​

You can manage targets by selecting Notifications > Targets.

Select any existing Notification target to open a modal where you can manage the target, using buttons at the bottom of the page.

Select Delete Target to delete an existing Notification target. You can also select multiple targets for deletion, using the check boxes on the left side of the modal.

Select Clone Target to copy an existing target. A modal will open so you can modify the configuration of the target you started with.

To edit any target’s definition in a JSON text editor, select Manage as JSON at the bottom of the Notifications > Targets modal. You can directly edit multiple values, and you can use the Import and Export buttons to copy and modify existing target configurations as .json files.

Some targets have additional controls for target configuration. See the documentation for the target of interest for more information.
