Tutorial: Generate a Smart Alert using Topic Data
Navigation
For this example we will be setting up a Low Battery Smart Alert.
- Click Settings.
- Click *Configurations*, then click *Smart Alerts*.
- Click *Create Smart Alert*.
You will be given a prompt to enter a smart alert name. Then you will be redirected to the Smart Alert details. From here, you can click the Alert Settings button.
This will open a form. By default, the form is set to Data Outside of Bounds. This type will help monitor when data is outside of a specific range and you would like to generate an alert when that occurs.
The following alert types are supported:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Data Outside Of Bounds | Monitors when data you are publishing is outside of a specific range. |
| Device Not Connected | An alert form that triggers when the agent detects that the device is not connected to the internet. |
| Device Not Active | Will trigger when the device is not actively publishing data. |
| System Resources | A form type that will limit the CPU, Disk Space, and Virtual Memory. |
| Topic Bandwidth | Monitor your device's bandwidth usage and queue length. Queue length is a component of the freedom agent and has a cap of 5000 messages. |
