Alerting management commands
Alerting management commands.
Disable the Alert manager
Disabling the Alert manager deletes the contact points you have created and disables managed alerts in the specified Project and region.
Usage:
scw cockpit alert-manager disable [arg=value ...]
Args:
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| project-id | Project ID to use. If none is passed the default project ID will be used | |
| region | Default: fr-parOne of: fr-par, nl-ams, pl-waw | Region to target. If none is passed will use default region from the config |
Enable the Alert manager
Enabling the Alert manager allows you to enable managed alerts and create contact points in the specified Project and region, to be notified when your Scaleway resources may require your attention.
Usage:
scw cockpit alert-manager enable [arg=value ...]
Args:
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| project-id | Project ID to use. If none is passed the default project ID will be used | |
| region | Default: fr-parOne of: fr-par, nl-ams, pl-waw | Region to target. If none is passed will use default region from the config |
Get the Alert manager
Retrieve information about the Alert manager which is unique per Project and region. By default the Alert manager is disabled. The output returned displays a URL to access the Alert manager, and whether the Alert manager and managed alerts are enabled.

Create a contact point
Contact points are email addresses associated with the default receiver, that the Alert manager sends alerts to.
