Managing Striim Cloud Console alerts
Striim Cloud Console alerts, also known as control-plane alerts, notify you when the running status or health status of a Striim Cloud service changes. An alert rule can apply to all services in the account or only to selected services.
These alerts are quick to configure but provide limited functionality. Email is the only notification method. Triggered alerts are also recorded in the Striim Cloud Console alert history.
Cloud Console alerts do not monitor applications, pipeline components, or data conditions within an application. Use service alerts to monitor and alert on these conditions. See Alerting in Striim.

When an enabled rule is triggered, Striim sends an email to the configured recipients and records the alert on the Alerts tab.
