In Nutanix Database Service (NDB), alert policies are configured to notify administrators of significant events affecting database operations. The default severity level for NDB alert policies is set to Error. This level indicates issues that require attention, such as failed operations (e.g., provisioning failures, as shown in the exhibit), connectivity issues, or other critical operational problems. Other severity levels like Info, Critical, and Warning may be used for different scenarios, but the base configuration for NDB alert policies starts at Error to ensure administrators are alerted to actionable issues without being overwhelmed by less severe notifications.
