Manage Events - Alerts Tab
Through the Discover Event Manager, you can define alerts that are triggered based on Discover events or Top Movers. When threshold values are detected in the related event or Top Mover, an alert is generated and delivered in the appropriate format to the designated recipients.
- The Alerts tab is available if you have licensed Unica Discover.
There are four kinds of alerts:
- Creating event alerts: These alerts are triggered by user-defined events. The events that you create can be used as the trigger for these alerts.
- Creating Top Mover alerts: These alerts are triggered by user-defined Top Movers. Values in Top Movers that you create can be used as the trigger for these alerts.
- Creating Top Mover Report alerts: These alerts are triggered by reports that you have created to track Top Movers and associated dimensional values. Values in Top Mover reports can be used as the trigger for these alerts.
- Creating canister alerts: These alerts are triggered by any of the status metrics automatically monitored by the Discover Canister. These metrics are available for selection when you create the alert.
Alerts are defined, configured, and enabled through the Alert tab in the Discover Event Manager.
- You may create up to 2048 alerts, although Discover does not recommend approaching this limit.
- After an alert is created and saved to the server, it may take
30 minutes for the alert definition to be used by the Alert Service.
Alert generation and appearance of alerts in the Alert Monitor in
the Portal may be impacted.
