Alerts
The 
Alerts application tab in MetaMiner Client is a tool for configuring alerts, or SMS notifications, about various events that can be triggered in your BI landscape:
What is it? |
The Alerts tab allows users to create near real-time alerts on any metadata or platform changes across the BI landscape. |
Why would I use it? |
If you wanted to receive an SMS or email each time a new user was created, or a permissions was changed on a folder or Universe, and so on. |
Modern BI landscapes demand that information on system events: servers stopping/starting, capacity being reached, resources becoming exhausted, users getting locked out - and more - be actionable and proactive.
The Alerts tab gives you the comfort of knowing that notifications about your most critical infrastructure events are being quickly sent to mobile gadgets and/or email addresses of responsible employees.
Your alerts are updated every 30 seconds automatically. If you make some changes in the Alerts tab, those changes are propagated to the Servers tab in 30 seconds.
