## Enable Email-Based Notifications

- Go to infrastructure -> Cluster -> click on the Notification which is currently “Disabled”  
  
  
  
- Enable Notification -> click "Save"  
  
  
  
- Go to -> Home -> System -> Alert -> click "Manage Notification"  
  
  
  
  
- Enable the Notification button -> click "Add Recipient Email" -> click "ADD" after adding appropriate email address  
  
  
  
- Make sure that Notifications are “enabled” on the cluster page

---

- You will receive a notification on the configured email address as soon as an alert is generated on the cluster  
  
  
  
  
- Sample email received

- As soon as the cluster is back healthy, the alert generated previously clears itself and a new status email is received.
