Getting Alerts in Anypoint Monitoring
Feature available in Advanced usage and Subscription-based tiers |
Alerts indicate whether a resource (such as a Mule app or API) is behaving as expected or exceeding a defined threshold.
You can create these types of alerts:
-
Basic alerts for servers, Mule apps, and APIs
-
Advanced alerts for graphs in custom dashboards in Anypoint Monitoring
-
Other alerts in API Manager or Runtime Manager:
-
Operational alerts for APIs through API Manager
-
Operational alerts for server and app events through Runtime Manager
-
For alerts in Anypoint Monitoring, you can:
-
Enable or disable advanced alerts configured for graphs in custom dashboards
-
Filter by alert status

Alert Thresholds
For basic and advanced alerts in Anypoint Monitoring, thresholds are checked every five minutes. The evaluated query is the average value of the metric in the last five minutes. For advanced alerts, the evaluated metric is the one referenced in the General tab for the graph. If the value of the metric passes the threshold, the alert triggers. The alert triggers only if the alert state changes (from OK
state to Alerting
state or vice versa). If you change the email address of the alert recipient, the recipient doesn’t receive an email until the alert triggers.

The number of active alerts allocated to your organization depends on your organization’s pricing model.
