Cloudflare with alerts on sites that accept DDoS

Cloudflare now allows its customers to generate alerts that alert them when their sites are being attacked by DDoS.

Cloudflare has always offered DDoS protection as one of its core functions, but if a site owner or administrator did not use his site much or use tracking tools, he would not know that his page was attacked.

Yesterday, Cloudflare announced that all of its customers can now set up notifications to alert them when a site receives a DDoS attack.

Depending on the account on that you have on Cloudflare, you can receive notifications via email or PageDuty.

There are also different types of DDoS that you can get alerts for, such as HTTPS DDoS and L3/L4 attacks. The availability of each type s depends on που with Cloudflare.

When a DDoS attack occurs, Cloudflare will notify you when the attack is detected, using the DDoS attack type, how large it is and what the target is, as shown below.

Unfortunately, Cloudflare doesn't provide a way of test notifications to see how notification will work with custom notification systems or via SMS.
