Alert Emitter

There is one Alert Emitter Node that is created for your Tenant when you create your Tenant.

EchoStream places threshold alarms on Edges and Nodes that are watching for backups in your processing network or errors that are occurring during processing. When one of these alarms changes states (OK, ALARM, or INSUFFICIENT_DATA), the Alert Emitter Node will emit an echo.alert message containing the details of the alarm state change and the Edge or the Node that was affected.

You can create a Node to receive and process these echo.alert messages. Some examples of processing use cases:

• Insert the alert into an alert management application (e.g. - OpsGenie, PagerDuty, VictorOps) for review and resolution by your Ops team.
• Send an email message with the contents of the alert.
• Send the alert to an Ops tool (e.g. - DataDog).
• Store the alert into a Data Lake for periodic analysis.
