Managing dataflow alerts

Enable and set-up data flow alerts to monitor the flow of radar data to IRIS Focus through Data Manager.

Log in on an account that has administrator rights.
Run the radar system for some time to allow the Data Manager database to populate.
Select Admin > Data Manager > Dataflow Alerts.

The Dataflow Alerts page opens, and you can see Enabled Alerts.

Task

Radar task associated with the dataflow.

Alerts

If selected, IRIS Focus generates an alert if the dataflow for that task is interrupted.

Task Interval

Shows the interval between task run times (minutes).

Data Manager re-calculates the frequency automatically each time you open the Dataflow Alerts page. To refresh the times manually, select Refresh.

The timestamp shows the last detected date for received data.

Alert trigger time

The time (minutes) after which IRIS Focus generates an alert if the dataflow is interrupted.
To receive alerts about interruptions to the flow of task data:
1. In the Alerts column, select the check box.
2. In the Alert trigger time column, set a time that is higher than the expected data flow interval.
3. To manage all enabled alerts in the same way, fill in the Global alert trigger time, and then select Apply:
  - To set the same trigger time for all alerts, type a number in the input field.
  - To increase the alert trigger time for all alerts, type, for example, +5 in the input field. To decrease the time, type, for example, -5.
  - To set a trigger time that is the same as detected interval between task run times for all alerts, leave the input field blank.
Select Save.
