User defined alerts – be notified in real time

User-Defined Alerts: Real Time Notifications

The user-defined alerts in Coralogix will allow you to obtain real-time insights based on criteria of your own choosing. It is a very simple process which grants users full flexibility, advanced alerting options, and real-time push notifications.

Here’s how it is done.

1) From the main dashboard, open the alert definition interface:

2) Then, click on the “ + “ sign:

3) The final screen contains 4 sections. Here’s a breakdown of what you are to do under each:

• First Section: Define the general alert parameters: Name, Alert severity, and Alert timeframe.
• Second Section: Define the alert criteria: text/template, metadata, and log severity.
• Third Section: Set the alert rule: whether you want it to alert immediately or you want to define a rule for More/Less occurrences per timeframe
• Fourth Section: Define the notification you like to receive. It could be an e-mail address, Slack room (see instructions for Slack alias below) or both.

To define a complex text alert based on a JSON format, hover the filter icon on the lefthand side of the text box and follow the syntax: 

The final step is to click on the check mark towards the lower right corner.

You’re all set! 

To add a slack notification to your alert:

1) Go to settings, click “integrations” and click the ‘+’ sign on the righthand side:

2) Select “Slack”, add the desired alias (it’s best to use the Slack room name), add the room webhook, click save.
