You can create event monitors that track publications and subscriptions based on their event status, and instigate actions when an event is in a defined status.
You create monitoring rules that define which entities to monitor, what are the event statuses for which to take action, and what actions Cloud Integration Hub takes when an event reaches the defined status.
You can create rules that monitor publication and subscription events, and perform actions on events that are in a defined status. For example, you can create rules to perform the following tasks:
•Disable publications that have events with an Error status.
•Send an email to the Cloud Integration Hub administrator when a subscription event is in an Error status.
Monitoring Rules
A monitoring rule defines which assets to monitor, the event statuses that trigger actions, and the actions to take when an event is in a defined status.
When you create a monitoring rule, you define the following elements:
•Asset or assets to which the rule applies. A rule can apply to a single publication, to multiple publications, or to all current and future publications, or to a single subscription, to multiple subscriptions, or to all current and future subscriptions
•Event status or statuses to which the rule applies. Cloud Integration Hub applies the rule only to events that are in a final state.
•Rule action or actions. You can select one or more of the following actions:
- Send email notification. You define the user or users to which Cloud Integration Hub sends an email notification when the rule conditions are true.
- Pause subscriptions or disable publications and subscriptions that are in the status or statuses to which the rule applies.
