IBM Cloud - Structured Ideas


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Cloud and its products. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).


Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Notify you by email if a service fails

A forum post asked whether there was a feature in Bluemix for sending service alerts by email. The request comes from the following Stack Overflow post that is centered on the Secure Gateway service:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34358809/bluemix-secure-gateway-monitor

The response is that this feature currently does not exist.

Although the forum post centers on one specific service, the idea is applicable to any Bluemix service.

    For public, the email functionality exists for the Bluemix platform itself and not for the actual services that are part of the platform. I am not aware that dedicated/local are any different here.
