Set Up Advanced Alerts for Graphs in Custom Dashboards

This feature is available only if your organization has the Anypoint Integration Advanced package or a Titanium subscription to Anypoint Platform. For more information, see the Pricing and Packaging documentation.

You can set up advanced alerts to trigger email notifications when a data point you are measuring passes a specified threshold. Advanced alerts are listed in the Alerts page in Anypoint Monitoring.

When you configure an advanced alert for a graph, an alert state icon appears at the top of the graph.
