Alert

Last update: April 13, 2024

You can set up alerts for Dataleading to monitor events in your data. An alert monitors for when one or more measures match configurable conditions. You can choose how you want to be notified when an alert gets triggered, and set the recipients for these notifications. Dataleading uses the alert configuration to query the specified data and filter the data. It then evaluates your specified conditions against the query results, to determine when to trigger the alert. Alerts are based on your own data—for example, you could trigger an alert when revenue drops by a specified percentage. You can have a maximum of 100 active alerts in a project. If you restrict alert access to specific users, a user might encounter the alert limit even if they can't see all 100 active alerts.

Create an alert

Follow these steps to create an alert:

  • 1. Click Alerts in the left pane, then click New alert:
  • 2. Configure alert options, then click Access options.
  • 3. Manage access to the alert and then click Set up webhooks, or click Set up webhooks if you want to accept the access defaults.
  • 4. Set up a webhook and then click Create alert, or click Create alert to save the alert without a webhook.

Configure alert options

The following table lists all of the options you can configure for an alert:

  • 1. The name of the alert. The name appears on the Alerts page, and in emails and webhook notifications.
  • 2. Select a severity from the following options: Info, Warning, Error, OK. The severity you select affects the alert's color and icon in the Dataleading UI.
  • 3. Defines how often Dataleading evaluates alert criteria. You can select a predefined length of time—for example, Minute, Hour, Day
  • 4. You can define one or more filters to restrict the alert data Dataleading gathers during alert evaluation.

View alert history

Click Alerts in the left pane to view the alerts page, and click the name of an alert to view its history page. The history page shows when the alert was triggered, alert conditions, and the value of the data. You can also analyze the alert data in a data cube.
