The old alerts that were available from the device details page will continue working until 31 March 2023. Your old alert rules will not be migrated. If you want to keep the same alerts, you have to create new rules.

You can configure alerts to be delivered through email, webhooks, or in a Webex App space. Regardless of the delivery channel configured, all alerts will always appear in Control Hub. Read more about Alert center and alerts.

For devices, you can create rules to get alerts for:

  • Offline and online events

  • Issues that are detected or resolved events
