DPOD can publish alerts when certain predefined events occur, for example, when device CPU is over 80%
Alerts can be viewed and managed from the Alerts Setup page

Terminology

Alert Query - the metadata that defines the alert parameters (for example, count all the system errors from the last 10 minutes in domain DMZ)

Alert Execution - one execution of the alert query

Alert Publishing - when an alert returns positive results, it will be published to interested parties via email or syslog

Alert Query

Each query consists of a type, period, an operator and a threshold.
In addition, you can define filters, so the query will run on specific devices, domains or services.

DPOD supports 4 types of alerts queries:

Type	Description	Example
Frequency	The condition will be met if there were X events in the checked time	More than 5 system errors occurred in the last 10 minutes
Flatline	The condition will be met if there is a value above a certain threshold	Device CPU is above 80%
Any	The condition will be met if any results are returned for the query	A DataPower object is down
List	The condition will be met if a result is in/not-in a pre-defined list of values

Alert Execution

An execution is one instance of the alert query, there are 3 ways to execute a query:

Scheduled - Enabled queries can be scheduled to run on a specific time or on a fixed interval.
Test Via the web console - Click the "Test" button in the Alerts Details Page for a one time only execution, you can use it for testing the query before scheduling it.
Via the REST API - an alert can be executed remotely via the REST API (for example, with CURL), the REST API URL for each query can be found in the Alerts Details Page, Example can found here

Alert Publishing

The alert will be published once an alert execution run an alert query and generated one or more results.

The alerts can be published via the following facilities:

Email (or Email WS) - make sure that "Enable Queries Emails SMTP" (or "Enable Queries Emails SMTP WS") is set to true in the System Parameters page.

Syslog message - DPOD will generate a separate syslog message for each result returned for the query - for example, for the query "Device CPU is above 80%" - each device that satisfies the query will generate a separate syslog message - the Syslog target server's host name, port and the syslog severity field value (Error, Info, etc)can be configured in the System Parameters page
