Datasource Alerts

You can set alerts for your IOT Datasource by specifying custom rules on the data received in real time. You can set up rules based on threshold values over time or events that are greater than or less than a target.

Creating an IOT Alert

Create an IOT alert to set the conditions that trigger the alert and define the actions to be taken when those conditions are met. To configure the IOT alert, follow the steps below.

1. Navigate to Studio Datasources.
2. Search for your IOT Datasource and open it.
3. Click on the Alerts tab.

9. Select the Measure to be used in the alert.
10. Define the Alert rule type. You can choose from options like value, difference, percentage difference, last N events, last N minutes, aggregate of last N events, or aggregate of last N minutes. If you choose last N events or last N minutes, you will have extra fields to define the N value. For aggregate of last N events and aggregate of last N minutes, you will also need to select the aggregator.
11. Pick a relational operator such as greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, less than or equal to, equal to, in between, or not equal to.
12. Define the value based on the selected relational operator.
