Alerting in Striim
Alerts notify you when a Striim server or data pipeline requires attention. Striim Platform provides three types of alerts.
Smart alerts are predefined, system-wide alerts for common operational conditions, such as application backpressure, high server CPU usage, or an idle source. Only Striim administrators can manage Smart Alerts. For more information, see Managing Smart Alerts.
Custom alerts monitor conditions that you define for selected resources. You can create an alert for a server, Forwarding Agent, connection profile, application, or pipeline component. The Striim administrator and other non-admin users who are enabled to manage alerting can use this feature. However, custom alerts for Striim services and Forwarding Agents remain restricted to administrators. See Managing custom alerts.
Application-generated alerts monitor data or business conditions defined in application logic, such as a field value exceeding a specified limit. These alerts apply to the data processed by a specific application and are not configured in Alert Manager. See Sending alerts from applications.
Receiving alert notifications
You can receive alert notifications from Striim in the Striim web UI, by email, by Slack, or by Microsoft Teams. The administrator must configure the Striim server to send notifications using these channels.
