6 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In this release,
7 7  
8 8  == **Feedback Items** ==
9 -//__Grafana improvements__//
10 -* The throughput now shows the unit of measurement in the Queue statistics.
11 -* The units of measurement have been improved in the following graphs:
12 -** Runtime detail: Log events are counted as a sum instead of a maximum per data point. Data measurements show if a runtime is on or off.
13 -** Queue detail: Data measurements show if a queue is on or off.
14 -** Event streaming: The Bytes in and out are not a rate per seconds but dynamic based on the time frame selected. The messages in are counted not based on per second but also dynamic based on the time frame selected.
9 +//__Queue alerting__//
10 +Alerting for message queues has been improved for the [[current runtime>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-runtime-generation3||target="blank"]] architecture, which includes the following improvements:
11 +* New UI that shows all queues and the alerting that is active on them.
12 +* Every queue in the model will be automatically added to the list of queues in Manage - Alerting.
13 +* Triggers of a queue will be automatically enabled or disabled based on whether that queue is included in the release.
14 +* Added 2 new trigger types "inactivity check" and "periodic activity check" that replace the "queue throughput" alert.
15 +** These checks can now run for a (very) long time, whereas the "queue throughput" was limited by 1 hour.
16 +* The alert generation has been solidified to reduce the likelihood that your alerting is affected with false positives or false negatives during eMagiz maintenance.
17 +* When the same check of multiple queues trigger at the same time, the alerts will be aggregated into a single summarized email instead of a single email per alert.

19 +If your model is running on the [[current runtime>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-runtime-generation3||target="blank"]] architecture, you will be migrated on the day of release. eMagiz will transfer the queue alerts that you have currently configured to the closest match in the new alerting stack. Models that are in the process of migrating to the [[current runtime>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-runtime-generation3||target="blank"]] architecture during the time of the release of this feature will be able to pre-configure their new queue alert triggers, but will not be able to make active use of them until the runtime migration has finished.
17 17  
18 -* The Memory and CPU usage table in the Runtime statistics displays the maximum value in a given time period that is selected.
19 -* Pressing the 'show main dashboard' button returns back to the unfiltered master dashboard.
20 -* For detailed views the 'show main dashboard' button is on the left.
21 -* Graphs on a page share the same crosshair.
22 -* The styling on HTTP statistics when there are no (un)successful requests within a timeframe has been improved.
23 -* For selection dropdowns the selected variables are locked to the top for easy deselection.
21 +{{info}}Please note that the new queue alerting will not yet be available for queues with message redelivery. {{/info}}
