Events

You can configure alerts based on certain events that may occur over time (server down, metrics that exceed critical values).

Particularly when a metric or a log meets a certain condition can trigger the sending of an email, the execution of an HTTP request or the execution of a function

When:

Log
Metric

Do:

Send Mail
Execute HTTP
Execute Function

Let’s take an example to better understand how events work:

If I would like to receive an email when an error happens on my server I can:

click on "new event button";
select "Log" on column "when";
click "configure" button (on column "when") and enter the necessary data as shown in figure "Log alert";

Figure 2. Log alert

now select "Mail" on "Do" column and click "configure" and enter the necessary data as shown in figure "Mail alert";

Figure 3. Mail alert

click on save button

There are some keywords that you can use for a better notification. Workbench will replace it with the right data.

Figure 4. keyword

from address, to address, subject and body are mandatory in mail alert.
