# Alert administration

Use **Alert administration** to manage alert subscriptions and configuration.

### When to use this page

Use this page when you need to change who receives alerts or how alert rules behave.

Use it after you identify unwanted noise, missing alerts, or alert thresholds that need adjustment.

### Before you start

Confirm that you know:

* whether you need to change subscriptions or rule behavior
* which alert types need the update
* whether the change should affect delivery, severity, or threshold handling

### Manage subscriptions

1. Go to **Verifone Central** → **Administration** → **Alerts** → **Manage Subscription**.

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/cjmIlRBtkbhJ2L4Rq0Pt" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Use this page to choose which alerts you want to receive.

2. Select the subscriptions you need.
3. Save the changes.

### Manage alert configuration

1. Go to **Verifone Central** → **Administration** → **Alerts** → **Manage Configuration**.

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/gCnpW6tVcKgyYuWexVic" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Use this page to configure:

* severity
* status
* threshold
* automatic close
* always generate new alert

2. Update the required alert settings.
3. Save the configuration.

### Verify the result

After you save the changes, confirm that:

* the right subscriptions are enabled
* the alert rule settings reflect the intended severity or threshold behavior
* future alerts now follow the updated delivery or configuration path

### Result

You can control which alerts are delivered and how alert rules behave.

### Next steps

* [Alerts](/verifone-central-device-management/verifone-central/devices/alerts-and-notifications/alerts.md) — review live alert entries
* [Alerts and notifications](/verifone-central-device-management/verifone-central/devices/alerts-and-notifications.md) — return to the alert center

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.verifone.com/verifone-central-device-management/verifone-central/devices/alerts-and-notifications/alert-administration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
