VMX-Explorer allows you to set up always-on monitoring that will trigger alerts when anomalies occur, e.g., high latency. Anomalies are defined by setting a threshold which, if breached, will trigger an alert. VMX Explorer can be configured to notify other systems of the anomaly.
There are 2 types of alert in Beeks Analytics:
Alerts that are created in VMX-Analysis
These are configured by the Beeks team.
Query these in VMX-Explorer via the Alerts and Alerts Status endpoints.Alerts that are created in VMX-Explorer
You can build these alerts by setting Alerting Rules, which are supported by Grafana. Read the instructions here.
See a use case for Alerts here.
Remember that Grafana alerting rules can only be configured against information provided by the Beeks Analytics back-end data source.
Due to restrictions in Grafana, it is not possible to configure Grafana alerting rules against the Beeks Analytics Datasource front-end data source.
The Beeks Analytics back-end data source currently supports Time Series, Alerts and Anomalies.
