Using ONS Notification

The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Notifications service can be configured to receive status messages from your instance when updates have been applied or when a known exploit attempt has been detected by Ksplice.

Enabling ONS Notification for the bastion host

Set the following parameters in the terraform.tfvars in order to enable ONS Notification for the bastion host:

oci_base_bastion = {
  ...
  notification_enabled  = true
  notification_endpoint = "valid_email_address"
  notification_protocol = "EMAIL"
  notification_topic    = "bastion"
  ...
}

If your bastion is already created, set the above parameters in the terraform.tfvars and run terraform apply again:

terraform apply

You’ll then receive a notification email to confirm the subscription.

Disabling ONS Notification for the bastion host

Set the following parameters in the terraform.tfvars to disable ONS Notification:

oci_base_bastion = {
  ...
  notification_enabled  = false
  ...
}

and run terraform apply again:
