Alerts let Tractorscope monitor data and notify people when a query result meets a condition.
How alerts work
An alert is a chart-like object with a database query, a condition, notification settings, and optional metadata. Tractorscope runs the alert check on a schedule or interval and sends notifications when the condition is met.
Alert conditions
Alert criteria include:
- Greater than
- Equal to
- Less than
The alert compares the query result to the configured amount.
Notification timing
Alerts can run on intervals such as 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, 12 hours, or 24 hours. They can also run at a scheduled UTC time.
Debounced notifications
Debouncing prevents repeated notifications while an alert condition remains triggered. This is useful for conditions that may stay true for several checks.
Query errors
Alerts can be configured not to notify when the query errors. Use this when query failures should be handled separately from business-condition alerts.
