Create a real-time alert group

An alert group allows to gather alerts sharing the same parameters.

A real-time alert group is defined by:

  • a document processor (only if you are not using task queues).

  • a security source. To save a query as an alert in the Mashup Builder, the end-user must be logged in.

  • the web service address(es) or the custom publisher to publish the alert to.

This task shows you how to:

Enable real-time alerting (only if you are not using task queues)

In the Administration Console, add a RealTimeAlerting document processor to the analysis pipeline.

The Alert groups field allows you to specify the alert group to which the real-time alerting applies. If no alert group is specified, it will apply to all real-time alert groups.

Create a real-time alert group

  1. In the Business Console, go to Notification > Alerting.
  2. On the Alert Group List, click Add.
  3. In the Add Alert Group dialog box,
    1. Enter a Name.
    2. For Type, select Real time.
  4. Select Use as default if you want this alert to be the default choice displayed to the user when clicking Save query as alert in the Mashup UI.
  5. Enter a description.
  6. For Security source, enter the security source name, for example, mysecurity.
    • This is only required for saving alerts using the Mashup Builder alerting widgets. If building your own, or building a custom application, a security source is optional.

You must now specify how to publish the alert, either as a web service or using a custom publisher.
