Terminology
The following section explains the concepts central to understanding Notification Center.
Source
A source is a specific configuration that defines how notifications are sent from Coralogix, such as an individual alert definition.
Notification source type & subtype
A notification source type refers to a component of the Coralogix infrastructure capable of sending notifications, such as alerts.
A notification source subtype provides additional granularity within a notification source type, ensuring precise schema support for different types of notifications.
Destination type
A destination type is a category of third-party vendors that Notification Center supports, such as Slack or PagerDuty.
Connector
A connector is a specific integration instance within a destination type, acting as the link between Coralogix and a third-party vendor. Examples include slack-workspace-1
, [email protected]
, or My_PagerDuty
. Notifications can be sent to multiple connectors within the same destination type or across different destination types.
Preset
A preset is a predefined configuration that dictates the format and structure of a notification. Presets are based on the notification source type and subtype, ensuring consistency and ease of use while allowing customization when needed.
Destination
A destination consists of a pre-configured connector and preset, and any specific customizations or overrides made to these configurations. For alerts, users may configure a destination as part of an alert definition.
