About Enterprise Gateway Alerts
You can control the following aspects of alerts that Enterprise Gateway Server sends when a request violates a rule:
Whether or not
Enterprise Gateway Server issues an alert for a rule violation.
How often
Enterprise Gateway Server issues the alert. The server can issue an alert each time a rule is violated or at a specified time interval.
If you specify a time interval, Enterprise Gateway Server sends an alert when a request first violates the rule. If the violation occurs again within the specified time interval, the server waits until the end of the time interval before sending any more alerts for this request.
The method
Enterprise Gateway Server uses to send the alert. The server can send alerts by way of email or a flow service.
To send email alerts, the
Integration Server acting as the
Enterprise Gateway Server must be configured to send emails. Check the settings on the Settings > Resources screen under
Email Notification. If your
Enterprise Gateway Server is not configured to send emails, see
Sending Messages About Critical
Issues to E-mail Addresses.
To send alerts by way of a flow service, Enterprise Gateway Server can use the pub.security.enterpriseGateway:alertSpec specification as the signature of the flow service. For more information about the specification, see webMethods Integration Server Built-In Services Reference.
Whether a rule uses default alert options or its own customized alert options.
For instructions on configuring
Enterprise Gateway alerts, see
Specifying Alert Options.
