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-left corner of the graph.
Alert states are defined as follows:
- No data
-
No data is available in the series to evaluate the alert threshold.
- Disabled
-
The alert is disabled.
- Alerting
-
The value of the metric passes the specified threshold.
- OK
-
The value of the metric has not passed the threshold.
- Pending
-
The alert is enabled and waiting for evaluation.
For example, the green dot in the bell indicates that the state is OK:
Note that hovering over the bell icon triggers a description popup. In this case, the description indicates Status OK.
