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"]].

12 -This microlearning centers on configuring dynamic alerting based on triggers you can define as a user.
13 -By defining, we mean: Specifying based on what triggers an alert needs to be raised.
11 +In this microlearning, we will focus on how you can link your alerting tag(s) to alerting trigger(s).
12 +In a previous microlearning we already discussed parts of this. In this microlearning we will zoom in on the Trigger section of Alerting.
14 14  
15 -* There are three trigger options
16 -** Log message
17 -** Messages added to topic
18 -** Topic consumer messages behind
19 -* On the trigger level, the recipients are defined

23 -To enhance the observability of your integration landscape while running in the current generation architecture, we provide a functionality in the Manage phase called "Dynamic Alerts". You can access this functionality via the "Alerting" menu in Manage. Then, with the help of the "Trigger" overview, you can view all triggers in your environment. From there on, you can navigate to the "Other" tab.
19 +== 1. Prerequisites ==
24 24  
25 -Here, on the top of the list, you will see all [["static" alerts>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Crash Course.Crash Course Platform.crashcourse-platform-manage-alerting-gen3||target="blank"]] that are defined by eMagiz (alerts that are non-editable) and below that (alerts that are editable), you will see all "dynamic" alerts that you and your fellow team members (with sufficient rights) can view, edit and delete.

30 -* Messages added to topic
31 -* Topic consumer messages behind
25 +This microlearning centers around linking tag(s) to trigger(s).
26 +With linking, we mean: Categorize a certain trigger with the help of tag functionality
32 32  
33 -[[image:Main.Images.Microlearning.WebHome@novice-alerting-dynamic-alerting--dynamic-alert-trigger-options.png]]
28 +* Make tags descriptive in nature
29 +* Re-use tags over multiple triggers that have the same aim
30 +* In case of a start, daily and end alert use the same tag for all of them
34 34  
35 -{{info}}As of the recent eMagiz release, we have moved the configurations for queue triggers (i.e., Queue consumers, Messages in queue, Queue throughput) to the "Queues" tab. Please refer to the [[Customize Queue alerting>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Novice.Alerting.novice-alerting-customize-queue-alerting.WebHome||target="blank"]] microlearning to learn more on how to customize the triggers or the default values for these queues.{{/info}}
36 36  
37 -First, we will discuss the configuration of each trigger type. Subsequently, we will discuss defining which recipients will be notified and how to alter the default congestion control settings (as this is the same for each trigger type).

34 +== 3. Linking Tag(s) to Trigger(s) ==
42 42  
43 -On top of the "static" alert that is autogenerated by eMagiz on Error messages, you can add additional "dynamic" alerts that only trigger when an error message is raised for which a specific header contains a particular value. This is most likely relevant when a specific error message with certain characteristics (i.e., a particular header value) needs to be sent to a different set of recipients.
36 +In our previous dalliance with this subject we already discussed parts of what we will discuss in this microlearning. This microlearning is mainly meant to reiterate the importance of using proper tags when setting up your alerting. Linking the correct tag(s) to your trigger(s) will help you to clarify how the alerting structure for your project is set up. This is not only nice when you want to revisit the alerting section but it is also very usefull in communication with the business and with a support desk. This way you can create a common truth surrounding a common language. Key parts in achieving this are:
44 44  
45 -To define the trigger, fill in the header's name and the expected value. On top of that, you can fill in a description that will be added to the alert received via email. Once this is filled in, the configuration could look as follows.
38 +* Make tags descriptive in nature
39 +* Re-use tags over multiple triggers that have the same aim
40 +* In case of a start, daily and end alert use the same tag for all of them

42 +To link tag(s) to trigger(s) you navigate to Manage -> Alerting -> Triggers
50 50  
51 -=== 3.1 Log message ===
44 +In this overview you can simply select a specific trigger to see the detailed configuration of the trigger. Depending on the type of trigger that you open the avaiable tabs within the pop-up and the information shown in the pop-up can differ. Below we show two distinct examples:
52 52  
53 -On top of the "static" alert that is autogenerated by eMagiz on Log messages, you can add additional "dynamic" alerts that only trigger when a log message contains a specific phrase. This is likely when you log something on which you want to alert when it happens.
46 +<p align="center">[[image:novice-alerting-linking-tags-to-triggers--example-trigger-detail-data-measurements.png||]]</p>
54 54  
55 -To define the trigger, fill in the phrase you want to check. On top of that, you can fill in a description that will be added to the alert received via email. Once this is filled in, the configuration could look as follows.
48 +<p align="center">[[image:novice-alerting-linking-tags-to-triggers--example-trigger-detail-log-entry.png||]]</p>
56 56  
57 -[[image:Main.Images.Microlearning.WebHome@novice-alerting-dynamic-alerting--dynamic-alert-log-message-configuration.png]]
50 +As you can see from these examples is that the number of tabs within the pop-up differ. The first tab is were the configuration of the trigger happens. In all the other tabs you need to link the tag(s) to the trigger. To do so simply press Add in one of these tabs, search for the Tag you want to link to this trigger, select it and press Select.
58 58  
59 -=== 3.2 Messages added to topic ===
52 +<p align="center">[[image:novice-alerting-linking-tags-to-triggers--example-trigger-detail-no-tag.png||]]</p>
60 60  
61 -For this category, you can add additional "dynamic" alerts. These alerts only trigger when the messages added to one or more topic is less than X messages per Y minutes. On top of the number of messages (X) and the timeframe (Y), you can define whether to validate this on a specific topic or all topics. Note that the default configuration is that the alert applies to all topics. You can uncheck the checkbox to check on a specific (set of) topic(s). As a result, the "Add" and "Remove" buttons are displayed by eMagiz, through which you can add and remove topics to the trigger.
54 +<p align="center">[[image:novice-alerting-linking-tags-to-triggers--example-trigger-detail-select-tag.png||]]</p>
62 62  
63 -[[image:Main.Images.Microlearning.WebHome@novice-alerting-dynamic-alerting--dynamic-alert-messages-added-to-topic-all-topics.png]]
56 +<p align="center">[[image:novice-alerting-linking-tags-to-triggers--example-trigger-detail-one-tag.png||]]</p>
64 64  
65 -When you press the "Add" button, a new pop-up will appear through which you can select the topics for which you want the trigger to be activated. In this pop-up, you can choose one (or more) topics and press the "Select" button to add them to the trigger. Once you have selected the topic(s) and pressed "Select," eMagiz will close the pop-up and add the topics to the trigger.
58 +When you are happy with your selection you can press Save on trigger level and eMagiz will link the tag to the trigger.

60 +===== Practice =====
68 68  
69 -For this trigger, additional criteria can be configured that allow you to define when eMagiz needs to validate this configuration (i.e., Occurence). With the help of this configuration option, you can specify when the trigger needs to be evaluated. An example could be only on Monday between 04:00 AM and 05:00 AM.
62 +== 4. Assignment ==
70 70  
71 -=== 3.3 Topic consumer lag ===
64 +Link an (extra) tag to a trigger.
65 +This assignment can be completed with the help of the (Academy) project that you have created/used in the previous assignment.
72 72  
73 -For this category, you can add additional "dynamic" alerts. These alerts only trigger when one (or more) consumer groups lag by X messages on one (or more) topic(s). Note that the default configuration is that you, as a user, need to specify for which topic(s) the alert applies, as consumers' behavior can vary widely.
67 +== 5. Key takeaways ==
74 74  
75 -{{info}}This process of adding and removing specific topics works identically as explained in the section on [[Messages added to topic.>>||anchor="H3.3Messagesaddedtotopic"]]{{/info}}
69 +* Assist in creating a common language
70 +* Make tags descriptive in nature
71 +* Re-use tags over multiple triggers that have the same aim
72 +* In case of a start, daily and end alert use the same tag for all of them
76 76  
77 -Once filled in, the solution should look similar as follows.

81 -=== 3.4 Recipient(s) configuration ===
76 +== 6. Suggested Additional Readings ==
82 82  
83 -You can select your recipients when you switch from the "Trigger" to the "Output" tab. In this overview, you can choose both internal recipients (i.e., eMagiz users that is part of your company or has access to the model in question) and external recipients.
