Managing Alert Rules

PreviousManaging Back-office TasksNextService Management

Last updated 8 months ago

Admin Tools -> Service -> Organization -> Alert rules

Using this tool requires the Service Admin role.

Alert Rules specify which service level metrics to monitor, the thresholds for triggering alerts, and the users who should receive notifications.

Viewing Alert Rules

To view alert rules, go to Admin Tools -> Service -> Organization -> Alert rules

Creating a New Alert Rule

To create a new rule, click "New alert rule" to open the New Alert Rule dialog.

  • Enter a unique, descriptive name for the rule.

  • Choose the metric to monitor from the dropdown list.

  • Enter a message Subject and Body to notify recipients when the alert turns on. Note that a default subject and body are created when you choose the metric.

Supported Metrics

Alerts can monitor the following metrics. Note that some metrics refer to a single unit, and others refer to the aggregation of the unit and its child units (subtree).

Configuring Alert Rules

Configure back-office tasks using the Alert Rule Details page:

Alert Rule Details

  • Rule Name: A unique identifier for the alert rule.

  • Metric to Monitor: This rule will track the specific service level metric.

  • Threshold: The predefined value that will trigger an alert when crossed by the metric.

  • Severity: Choose the alert severity level (low, medium, or high)

  • Active: Uncheck this box to stop checking the rule.

Notification Recipients

In this section, you define who will be notified when the alert is turned on or off.

  • Notify Source Unit Users: If checked, notifications will be sent to users currently in the unit where the alert is generated.

  • Sending Notifications: By default, notifications are sent only when the user is online (clocked in). To ensure notifications are sent when users are offline (clocked out), select the β€œSend notifications when away” option. If attendance tracking is disabled, notifications will always be sent regardless of the user’s status.

  • Filtering Recipients by Groups: You can refine the list of notification recipients by specifying groups. Only members of these specified groups will receive the alert notifications.

Notification Message

  • When the alert turns ON: The subject and body of the message to be sent when the alert is activated.

  • When the alert turns OFF: The subject and body of the message to be sent when the alert is deactivated. Sending OFF messages is optional.

Supported variables are:
