2		-In this microlearning, we’ll explore how to view and customize topic alerts within your eMagiz environment. Customizing these alerts allows you to tailor the trigger conditions and thresholds to better fit your specific needs, enhancing how you monitor and respond to topic activity. We’ll cover the two types of topic triggers available and guide you through configuring them to suit your requirements. This will help you ensure your alerts are as effective and relevant as possible. Should you want to learn more about the standard alerting that eMagiz offers, please check out this [[microlearning>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Crash Course.Crash Course Platform.crashcourse-platform-manage-alerting-gen3||target="blank"]].
	2	+In this microlearning, we will focus on how you can link your alerting tag(s) to alerting trigger(s).
	3	+In a previous microlearning we already discussed parts of this. In this microlearning we will zoom in on the Trigger section of Alerting.

15		-This microlearning focuses on customizing the topic alerts that are existing in each of the environment of your model (i.e., Testing-Acceptance-Production). By customizing we mean further configuring the trigger conditions and thresholds of your topics, so they better suit your needs and requirements.
	13	+This microlearning centers around linking tag(s) to trigger(s).
	14	+With linking, we mean: Categorize a certain trigger with the help of tag functionality
16	16
17		-* eMagiz applies the same set of triggers to all topic.
18		-* There are two topic trigger options that eMagiz currently provides:
19		-** Minimum throughput check
20		-** Messages behind check
21		-* Recipients are defined on the topic level.
	16	+* Make tags descriptive in nature
	17	+* Re-use tags over multiple triggers that have the same aim
	18	+* In case of a start, daily and end alert use the same tag for all of them

25		-As all our alerting now works is that we have divided them up in various segments that are accessible via Manage.
	22	+In our previous dalliance with this subject we already discussed parts of what we will discuss in this microlearning. This microlearning is mainly meant to reiterate the importance of using proper tags when setting up your alerting. Linking the correct tag(s) to your trigger(s) will help you to clarify how the alerting structure for your project is set up. This is not only nice when you want to revisit the alerting section but it is also very usefull in communication with the business and with a support desk. This way you can create a common truth surrounding a common language. Key parts in achieving this are:

	24	+* Make tags descriptive in nature
	25	+* Re-use tags over multiple triggers that have the same aim
	26	+* In case of a start, daily and end alert use the same tag for all of them
28	28
29		-Here, when you navigate to Manage->Alerting->Triggers, you will find all the topics that are generated by eMagiz currently existing within your model, along with the trigger conditions and thresholds that are applied to each of these topics. In the following sections, we will discuss how you can tune these topics triggers to your needs.
	28	+To link tag(s) to trigger(s) you navigate to Manage -> Alerting -> Triggers

31		-{{info}}Contrary to the queue alerting we do not offer any default configuration as eMagiz given the widespread implementation of event streaming in the community which prevents us from defining relevant default triggers that would apply in almost all cases. As a result, the default configuration on topic level is that the alert is **disabled** and **no** thresholds are defined{{/info}}
	30	+In this overview you can simply select a specific trigger to see the detailed configuration of the trigger. Depending on the type of trigger that you open the avaiable tabs within the pop-up and the information shown in the pop-up can differ. Below we show two distinct examples:
32	32
33		-=== 3.1 Customize Default Values ===
	32	+[[image:Main.Images.Microlearning.WebHome@novice-alerting-linking-tags-to-triggers--example-trigger-detail-data-measurements.png]]
34	34
35		-Changes to the default values will only apply to topic triggers that are set to use the default values, and not to those you have already customized. To modify the default values configured by eMagiz, you can click the "Configure defaults" button at the top of the topic trigger list.
	34	+[[image:Main.Images.Microlearning.WebHome@novice-alerting-linking-tags-to-triggers--example-trigger-detail-log-entry.png]]
36	36
37		-{{info}}Note that if your account does not have edit rights in Manage for a specific environment, you will see a "View defaults" button instead.{{/info}}
	36	+As you can see from these examples is that the number of tabs within the pop-up differ. The first tab is were the configuration of the trigger happens. In all the other tabs you need to link the tag(s) to the trigger. To do so simply press Add in one of these tabs, search for the Tag you want to link to this trigger, select it and press Select.

41		-Here, you will get a pop-up page where you can configure the default values of your topic triggers. The details of each of the triggers will be discussed in the next section. But, what is important to note here is that, here, you have the "Reset to eMagiz defaults" button to reset the default values to the values provided by eMagiz as defaults (i.e. disabling them). Next to that, at the bottom of the pop-up, you will find the "Update defaults" button, which will apply the default values that you have configured to all topic triggers that are set to use the default values. By clicking this button, the new default values will be put into effect immediately.
	40	+[[image:Main.Images.Microlearning.WebHome@novice-alerting-linking-tags-to-triggers--example-trigger-detail-select-tag.png]]
42	42
43		-Additionally, on this page, you can also find the "Notifications" tab that allows you to configure which recipients that you want to receive the notifications from the alerting. If you want to learn more about this notifications and how to configure it, please refer to this [[microlearning>>Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Intermediate Level.Alerting.intermediate-alerting-setting-up-notifications-gen3||target="blank"]].

45		-=== 3.2 Customize Topic Alerting ===
	44	+When you are happy with your selection you can press Save on trigger level and eMagiz will link the tag to the trigger.
46	46
47		-Next to customizing the default values for all topic triggers, you can also modify the trigger configurations for individual topics. To customize these topic triggers to better suit your needs, you can click the edit buttons (green paper and pencil buttons) located at the end of each topic trigger. By doing so, you will get a pop-up page that allows you to further customize the conditions and thresholds of your topic triggers, which will be discussed in the following.

53		-{{info}}This alert checks whether a topic receives at least the specified number of messages within a 10-minute window. If the count remains below the threshold for the entire window, a Problem alert is triggered. Please provide the threshold that suites the integration. You can customize this threshold as needed. Additionally, you can specify the instructions to be included in email notifications sent to recipients and in the alert message displayed in the Manage->Alerting->Alerts.{{/info}}
