You can configure Operational Insights to send alert notifications for Data Integration jobs. Configure alerts for specific jobs in the organization.
For example, you might want to configure an alert to notify you when the mapping tasks in a project have been running for more than five minutes. Or, you might want to receive an alert when a task that loads order data to a target fails.
To configure alerts, you must have the Admin or Operator user role, or a custom user role with the Data Integration Job Alerts privilege for Operational Insights.
You can configure alerts for the following Data Integration assets:
•Mapping tasks
•Synchronization tasks
•Dynamic mapping tasks
•Data transfer tasks
•Replication tasks
•PowerCenter tasks
•Linear taskflows
You can configure alerts for the following events:
•The job is in a specified state.
•The duration of the job has crossed a configurable threshold.
•The number of rows processed has crossed a configurable threshold.
•The error row count has crossed a configurable threshold.
You can also configure Operational Insights to take the following actions when it sends an alert:
•Email specified users or user groups.
•Restart failed jobs.
•Stop running jobs.
Operational Insights polls the Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services repository for job data every three minutes. Operational Insights doesn't send alerts for running jobs that run for less than three minutes if the job has already completed when Operational Insights gets the job data.
Operational Insights sends email alerts for the first 550 alerts per hour, 4000 alerts per day, and 28000 alerts per week in your organization. To change the maximum number of alerts that Operational Insights sends, contact Informatica Global Customer Support.

Guidelines for creating Data Integration alerts
Consider the following guidelines when configuring alerts for Data Integration jobs. Follow these guidelines to ensure efficiency when managing and receiving alerts.
•When assets have similar alert rule conditions, group the assets into projects and folders and configure the rule on the entire project or folder.
•Avoid configuring alerts for assets that you expect to run for less than five minutes.
•Avoid configuring conditions that will trigger an alert every time the job is run.
For example, avoid configuring alerts for completed jobs in the success state. Instead, configure a condition to send an alert when the job is in the success state and the job processed a certain number of rows or ran for a certain amout of time.
•Periodically, review and delete alerts that are no longer in use.
