Chapter 1. Cluster notifications
As a cluster administrator, you need to stay informed about the health and status of your clusters so you can take action when issues arise or maintenance is required. Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS automatically sends email notifications to keep you and your team updated on cluster events, incidents, upgrades, and maintenance activities. You can configure who receives these alerts and understand what each notification means to ensure the right people respond at the right time.

Optional: Filter for relevant cluster notifications.
Use the filter controls to hide cluster notifications that are not relevant to you, so that you can focus on your area of expertise or on resolving a critical issue. You can filter notifications based on text in the notification description, severity level, notification type, when you received the notification, and the system or person that triggered the notification.
