Akamai Alerts Configuration Guide
Akamai's Alerts feature provides automatic, real-time notifications for changes in your origin infrastructure and information delivery patterns. Built on Akamai's robust and secure monitoring technology, this system continuously watches for pre-defined conditions and promptly informs stakeholders when thresholds are met or exceeded.
Overview
The Alert functionality is designed to:
Monitor traffic patterns and origin infrastructure.
Notify you when predefined thresholds (such as high traffic or server failures) are triggered.
Send a follow-up email when the condition is cleared.
Alerts can be configured per product in the Luna Control Center.
