B2B Gateway > Tracking and Monitoring Events > Event monitors

Event monitors

You can create event monitors that track events based on their status, and send notifications when an event is in a defined status.

You create monitoring rules that define which partners to monitor, what are the event statuses that trigger an action, and users to which to send email notifications. For example, you can create a rule that notifies the administrator when events that are generated for a specific partner are in an Error status.

Monitoring rules

A monitoring rule defines which partners to monitor, the event statuses that trigger an action, and the users to which to send email notifications when an event is in a defined status.

When you create a monitoring rule, you define the following elements:

•Partners to which the rule applies. You can apply the rule to a single partner, to a number of selected partners, or to all partners.
•Event status or statuses to which the rule applies. B2B Gateway applies the rule only to events that are in a final state.
•Rule action. You can define one or more users to which B2B Gateway sends email notifications when the rule conditions are true.
