Outbound channels

Push reports and high-severity alerts to Feishu, DingTalk, WeCom, Teams, Slack, or email. Destinations, periods and alert threshold, mail server; failed deliveries retry and can be resent.

Outbound channels is the product's only way to send messages out, available in every edition. It carries scheduled reports, Alerts at or above a threshold, conclusions pushed from an investigation, and escalations from Triage. The page is a top tab of Platform health.

ChannelSettings

WeCom, Teams, SlackThe group bot or incoming webhook URL
EmailRecipients, separated by commas, semicolons, or newlines. The sending server is set once on the Mail server tab

Webhook URLs and secrets are stored encrypted in Elasticsearch. After a gateway reinstall the old ciphertext cannot be opened and the destination shows Secret invalid. Re-enter the secret to restore it.

Configure the mail server

One mail server serves every email destination. Without it, email deliveries keep failing and the reason only appears in the delivery log.

Mail server

On the Mail server tab, enter the server, credentials, and sender. The Encryption sets the default port unless you changed the port yourself. The Password is usually an app password or authorisation code. Leave Username empty if the server requires no authentication.

Saving only checks the format. Use Send a test on an email destination to prove that mail goes out.

Handle failed deliveries

Delivery log

The Delivery log tab lists one row per delivery with kind (report or alert), channel, destination, status, attempts, last error, and update time.
