Creating Top Mover alerts
A Top Mover alert can be created to monitor changes in the values reported for daily or hourly Top Movers.
About this task
Although you may be able to track Top Movers through configured Top Mover reports, it may be more useful to configure alerts to notify you of significant changes or abnormal values reported in each Top Mover of interest to you.
Top Movers can be created to monitor deviations in event values or ratios of values. They can be configured in the Discover Event Manager. See Manage Events - Top Movers Tab.
To create a Top Mover alert, click the Alert tab in the Discover Event Manager. Then, select New Top Mover Alert.... The following dialog is displayed.
The alert properties window for Top Mover alerts is similar to the window for configuring event-based alerts. The following properties are specific to alerts of this type:
- Property
- Description
Top Mover- Click to select the saved Top Mover that you want to monitor through
this alert.
- Top Movers are grouped by frequency in Hourly and Daily panels.
- If the Top Mover is a dimensional Top Mover, the dimension and
all values in the dimension are automatically selected for tracking.
- When all values are tracked, any value that exceeds the threshold triggers the alert.
- To select specific dimension values to track, click
<Any Dimension Value>.
- When a Top Mover is selected, the Interval is taken from the interval that is defined for the Top Mover. An interval setting for the alert is not separately available for user configuration.
