Control Hub notifications and threshold alerts

Verified 2026-09-15 · 18 sources · tier 2 · 1 disputed

Also known as Alert Center, Call Quality Drop, Notifications, Trunk certificate expiry alert, webhook callback URL.

Disputed: 1 source below carries conflicting evidence.

Control Hub alerts and notifications cover service monitoring across Webex service families 11. In the field, Two Webex help addresses with different article identifiers serve one rendered article titled Notifications in Control Hub which carries both the alert catalogue and the webhook material and links to itself 14.

Alert catalogue and delivery channels

The article includes 19 headings naming an alert across 4 service families, and only 2 of these families have a heading of their own 11. Field reports suggest that Two Webex help addresses with different article identifiers serve this single rendered article, which carries both the alert catalogue and webhook material and links to itself 14.

Sources disagree on delivery channel availability: which delivery channels an alert type offers differs per type with no rule stated, and the article's own general statement that alerts can be delivered by email, webhook, PagerDuty, or a Webex space is contradicted by its own procedures 8. The 4 meeting quality alert types offer email and a Webex space only, meaning a media quality alert cannot be delivered to a webhook or to PagerDuty by its own procedure 10. Furthermore, delivery to a Webex space reaches only the recipients added to the email delivery channel, so an alert configured for a space with no email recipient reaches nobody 16.

Thresholds and schedules

In the field, the article's introductory example of a 300 millisecond latency threshold is below the 400 millisecond minimum that every latency field in the article accepts 17. Field reports suggest that the packet loss threshold range is published as 5 to 100 percent for 2 alert types and 5 to 50 percent for a third 15.

Two distinct certificate expiry schedules coexist in the documentation: a trunk certificate alert triggers on the 60th, 30th, 15th, and 7th day before expiry and once only after it, whereas a Control Hub certificate alert triggers 67 days before expiry and every 12 days until renewal 18. Trunk alerts are not triggered on Dedicated Instance based trunks 9.

Webhook integration and data retention

The article publishes no retry behaviour, no rate limit, no HTTP method, and no signature scheme for the webhook, with the terms retry, rate limit, HMAC, signature, and content type each occurring 0 times 12. In addition, the words role and permission occur 0 times in the article, and no role is named for setting the organisation-wide webhook callback URL that every webhook-delivered alert uses 13.

Alerts appear in the alerts view for the last 14 days and can be exported for the last 30 days, meaning 16 days of alerts exist only in an export 7.
