Introduction

The Cloud Credit Alarm feature enables you to set up reminders for topping up your cloud credit. By configuring these alarms, you will receive timely notifications before your credit runs low, allowing you to manage your resources efficiently.

Note:

  • Set a threshold amount for your instances based on your preferences.
  • When this threshold is reached, the alarm will trigger and send an email notification to both the Primary and Secondary email addresses (for Billing and Technical roles).
  • Use our Cloud Calculator to estimate your cloud credit usage.

Steps to Set Up Your Cloud Credit Alarm

  1. Click on NovaCloud and select Instance.

  2. Click on the Balance button.

  3. Click on View Credit Alarm, then Create.


    Please note that the maximum number of alarms is 5, which includes the 2 default alarms: LOW CREDIT and CRITICAL LOW CREDIT.

  4. Enter the Name for the alarm, the Threshold amount (which must be unique for each alarm), and the Message for the email notification. Set the alarm as Active (setting it to Inactive will disable email notifications) and click Save.

  5. Once you have created an alarm, it will appear in the list below. From here, you can choose to modify (using the Pencil icon) or delete (using the Trash icon) the alarm as needed.

    (Note: This does not apply to default alarms.)

After completing these steps, your Cloud Credit Alarm will be set up, ensuring you stay informed and in control of your cloud credit balance.
