This action monitors a user-specified set of run-time performance conditions for a virtual service and sends alerts to a specified destination when these performance conditions are violated.

This action provides the same functionality as Monitor Service Performance but this action is different because it enables you to monitor a virtual service's run-time performance especially for particular consumer(s). You can configure this action to define a Service Level Agreement (SLA), which is set of conditions that defines the level of performance that a specified consumer should expect from a service.

(Not available in Mediator versions below 9.0.) This action limits the number of service invocations during a specified time interval and sends alerts to a specified destination when the performance conditions are violated. You can use this action to avoid overloading the back-end services and their infrastructure, to limit specific consumers in terms of resource usage, and so on.
