Alert Rules vs Alert Category - Is there any limitations for multiple rules

[former_member609851]

I have an alert configuration implemented already and i want to add few more rules for the same alert category. While creating the rules for new set of scenarios, I am able to create only one rule . Is there any limitations for having the rules per category ?

Hi Gopalakrishna,

Alert Rules define the error situation which raises a specific alert. One Alert Category can contain one or many Alert Rules.

Just go through the following pdf:

I am sure it will be very helpful

Hi Jyoti,

Thanks for the documents. The issue is still open i currently i have 4 rules for the same alert category for my project. When i am trying to add another 8 rules using the same alert category i am able to create only 1 new rule ( in total 5 alert rules using one alert category ). After defining new rule when i press the push button Add Rule it doesn't update the Rules table with the newly created rule. Thus i am unable to add any new rules for the same category.

With Thanks and Regards,

Ganesh

Hi,

If the Suppress Multiple Alerts of This Rule checkbox is selected (default setting), then no further alerts are generated once the rule has been met until the first alert has been confirmed.

There is no limitation of creating alert rule for a particular alert category.

Check out the steps of Alert rule configuration.

Creating Alert Rules

To create an alert rule in which you use a defined alert category, proceed as follows:

1. Give the rule a name (Description).

2. Select the alert category that you want to use by clicking the corresponding category in the alert category table.

3. If necessary, specify conditions for the sender or receiver, or both.

○ If your rule results in alerts that must be assigned to a specific message, select the option Yes for the Bound to Message condition.

○ If your rule results in alerts that are not assigned to a message, that is, they are caused by errors that occurred before the message was sent, select the option No for the Bound to Message condition.

In this case you cannot enter any further details about the sender or receiver.

○ If the rule is to cover both cases, select the Not Relevant option.

4. If required, restrict the errors further to:

○ Errors reported from the Integration Engine (with or without error category or error code)

○ Errors reported from the Adapter Engine (with or without adapter type)

You can enter an asterisk (*) in steps 3 and 4. You can enter just the asterisk, or enter it at the start, end, or start and end of a string.

5. To add the new rule to the list of alert rules, choose Add Rule.

If the Rule Activated check box is selected (default setting), the rule is automatically activated when you add it and is displayed as active.

If the Suppress Multiple Alerts of This Rule checkbox is selected (default setting), then no further alerts are generated once the rule has been met until the first alert has been confirmed.

Once you have created a rule, it is automatically displayed in the list of alert rules. If you want to display the conditions of a rule, select a rule in the list and choose Show Conditions.

Hope this will help you.

Hi Aashish Sinha,

In my project i have defined an alert category and as per requirement multiple rules are defined based on the filter parameters such as sender and reciever business service. I was successful in adding multiple rules for my project but when a new requirment came for some other project using the same category i am able to add only one rule subsequent new rules i am unable to add. Still the issue is open

Hi,

there are no limitation to alert rules. You can create as many as you want.

Go to Alert configuration on RWB and add rules. Rules can be combinations of sender/receiver/error/messaging system etc
