Heartpingr is designed to notify you in real-time when an event breaches a threshold, or fails to meet a certain level of usage. Each event can
define its own set of alerts which will fire on the hour, day, month, or year, depending on your monitoring needs.
Above Threshold alerts are triggered when the usage of an event exceeds a predefined threshold. For example, if you set a threshold of 1000
requests per hour, and your application receives 1200 requests in that hour, an alert will be triggered. This alert will be triggered within
approximately 90 seconds from the time the threshold is breached.
Below Threshold alerts are triggered when the usage of an event falls below a predefined threshold. For example, if you set a threshold of 100
requests per hour, and your application receives only 50 requests in that hour, an alert will be triggered. This alert will be triggered at
the close of the time period. If an hourly alert is set, it will be triggered at the end of the hour if the value for that hour failed to meet
the threshold.
Alerts provide the following notification mechanisms:
- Email notifications
- SMS notifications (coming soon)
- Webhook notifications (coming soon)
