2 -In this microlearning, we will focus on how you can configure your dynamic alerting by setting up triggers on events and notifying people about them.

2 +In this microlearning, we'll dive into configuring dynamic alerting in eMagiz. Dynamic alerts allow you to set up notifications based on specific triggers you define, helping you stay on top of critical events in your integration landscape. You can create alerts for error messages, log messages, topic updates, and consumer lag, and customize who gets notified. We’ll walk you through the different types of triggers and how to set them up effectively. Should you want to learn more about the standard alerting that eMagiz offers, please check out this [[microlearning>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Crash Course.Crash Course Platform.crashcourse-platform-manage-alerting-gen3||target="blank"]].
