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 customize your queue alerts by configuring the trigger conditions and thresholds, which raise an alert and notify people when those points are passed.

24 +=== 3.1 Queue Alerting Overview ===
25 +In principle, queue alerting refers to the configuration of alerts that work by applying a uniform set of triggers to all queues in your model. By queues here, we mean all queues that are generated by eMagiz and existing in the Create phase of your model. Out-of-the-box, eMagiz provides the default values that are suitable for the topology of each of your model environments (Testing-Acceptance-Production). By topology here, we refer whether your environment is running on single-lane or double-lane setup. In the screenshot below, you can find the overview of your queue alerts by navigating to Manage -> Alerting -> Triggers.
24 24  
25 -As all our alerting now works is that we have divided them up in various segments that are accessible via Manage.

29 +Here, you will find all the queues that are generated by eMagiz and currently existing in the Create phase of your model, along with the trigger conditions and thresholds that are applied to each of these queues. In the following sections, we will discuss how you can tune these queue triggers to your needs.

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.
31 +=== 3.2 Customize Queue Alerting ===
30 30  
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}}
33 +To customize these queue triggers to better suit your needs, you can click the edit buttons (green paper and pencil buttons) that find at the end of each queue trigger. By doing so, you will see a pop-up page that allows you to further customize the conditions and thresholds of your queue triggers.

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.

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.
