Creating BPM alerts

You can create alert definitions and then use APIs to access the alerts generated from the alert definitions.

1. Open the Process Admin Console. For information, see Accessing the Process Admin Console.
2. Expand the Alert Definitions section and select the category of alert definition that you want to create. For example, if you want to create an alert to monitor the number of process instances, select Process Instance Alerts.
3. Create the alert definition by setting values for the following fields:

   Field	Description
   Name	Identify the alert definition by providing a display name.
   Process App	Identify the process application that you want to monitor with the alert definition.
   Snapshot	Optionally identify which snapshot of the process application to monitor. The default is to monitor all snapshots.
   Process	Optionally identify which process in the process application to monitor. The default is to monitor all processes.
   Instance status	Optionally identify whether to monitor instances with a specific status. If their status does not matter, leave this field with its default value of All.
   Task status	If you are defining a task alert, optionally identify whether to monitor tasks with a specific status. If their status does not matter, leave this field with its default value of All.
   Threshold	Specify the threshold value and whether the current value must be greater than, equal to, or less than the threshold value to trigger the alert.

4. Click Apply. The new alert definition is now in the table that lists the existing alert definitions and the fields you entered the definition into are cleared.
