Alerts and System Messages
XPRESSO uses the following built-in push and pull communication/alert services and tools to assist with monitoring system events, convey/broadcast messages to/from users, and to request tasks or actions to be completed by Group Administrators or the System Administrator:
Notifications: Provides an at-a-glance view of system-generated messages by priority and read/unread status. Group Admin have the ability to control the verbosity of when XPRESSO sends out some notifications.
Messages: Provides two built-in messaging/message features:
- A person-to-person messaging system within XPRESSO that does not require external e-mail client/servers.
- System (Broadcast) messaging system that allows the System Administrator to broadcast a system-wide message for a defined period of time to all users to notify them of important or pending system usage information such as upcoming system upgrade, planned outages, or general information for a defined period of time.
Actionable Requests: Provides access to a special form of messages that requires action to be taken by the Group Admin or System Administrator in order to proceed.
Webex Team Notifications: Ability to receive Webex Team notifications for Job Requests, Job Results, Testbed/Topology reservations, Testbed availability status and Docker Images.
