Set Threshold Alerts for Pipeline Data Volume

You can set alerts to notify you when the data ingress or egress for your Mezmo Telemetry Pipeline has reached threshold criteria for a specified period of time. You can also set how often you want to receive these alerts.

You can use the Aggregate Processor to set threshold alerts for specific events.

Threshold Alert Types

There are three types of threshold alerts you can set for your data volume notification.

Absolute: An Absolute threshold alert is based on the an absolute volume of ingress or egress data for the specified time range.

Relative: A Relative threshold alert is based on a set percentage of data volume above or below the time frame average.

Absence: An Absence threshold alert is based on a lack of ingress or egress data for the specified time range.

Set a Threshold Alert

1. Log in to the Mezmo Web App.

2. Click Pipelines.

3. Select the Pipeline you want to set an alert for, then click Alerts.

4. Select either Ingress or Egress for the type of alert.

5. Select the Threshold type for the alert.

   1. For an Absolute threshold, enter the ingress or egress data volume to use as the basis for the alert, and the Time frame. For example, you could set the time frame to alert you if the data volume exceeds an absolute value within a period of 5 minutes.
   2. For a Relative threshold, enter the Time frame, and the Percentage above and below the average data volume for that time frame that will trigger an alert.
   3. For an Absence threshold, enter the Time frame during which an absence of data will trigger an alert.

6. Set the Alert frequency. This will determine how often the alert is sent when the threshold criteria are met.

7. Select a Delivery method for the alert.

8. Enter a Name for the alert.

9. Click Create alert.

You will see your Alert saved in the list of alerts for that Pipeline. You can toggle it On or Off as necessary. Click Edit Alert to make changes.
