Manage alerts and integrations

After deploying the Local WEKA Home, you can configure it to send specific alerts or events through Email (SMTP), PagerDuty, or SNMP Traps (v1/v2c/v3). For example, you can set it to email alerts to a specific address when the cluster's data protection level falls below the configured threshold.
