Alert definitions

See all the alerts defined in AIDA. Pause one or more alerts immediately or on schedule.

Before you begin

In AIDA, an alert is defined by a trigger. Trigger is a custom set of conditions, for example: 3 consecutive KPI data points falling outside the expected range of values.

Alert definitions json file is retrieved by AIDA Exporter component from HCL Workload Automation, and stored into AIDA OpenSearch database.

See an example of an alert definition in HCL Workload Automation json file.

Alert definitions cannot be modified by AIDA Users.
