Creating Top Mover Report alerts
A Top Mover report alert notifies the configured recipient list of significant changes reported in the selected Top Mover report. Since a Top Mover report may contain dimensional data, these alerts can be used to narrow the focus of a Top Mover alert to only monitor significant changes or abnormal values appearing in the Top Mover report.
- Top Movers can be created to monitor deviations in event values or ratios of values. They can be configured in the Discover Event Manager. See Manage Events - Top Movers Tab.
- To create a Top Mover report alert, click the Alert tab in the Discover Event Manager. Then, select New Top Mover Report Alert.... The following dialog is displayed.
The alert properties window for Top Mover alerts is similar to the window for configuring event-based alerts. The following properties are specific to alerts of this type:
- Property
- Description
Top Mover Report- Click to select the saved Top Mover report that you want to monitor
through this alert.
- When a Top Mover is selected, the Interval is taken from the interval that is defined for the Top Mover. An interval setting for the alert is not separately available for user configuration.

- Alert blackout properties Note: For Top Mover alerts, the blackout settings are applied based on when the data was acquired. For example, daily Top Movers are calculated the day after acquisition, so the blackout periods are configured to apply to the previous date. Blackouts for hourly Top Movers are similarly offset to the period when they were captured.
