Alert
With AirVantage Alert features, you can monitor all your systems by defining rules.
These rules are made up of conditions which check attributes of your systems.
A condition is built with an operator and a list of operands. Details can be found here.
Attributes are information related to your systems:
- system attributes like the name, the communication status, the gateway serial number, etc.
- system data coming from the device communications,
- and usage data coming from the operator.
When all the conditions of a rule are met for a specific system:
- If the rule is stateless, an alert is generated. It is accessible from the Find history API.
- If the rule is stateful and the state changed, an alert state is created/updated. It gives you the current state (true or false) of a system against a rule. It is accessible from Find current API. You can also access the state history with Find history API.
A rule defines the conditions under which a target becomes in alert or not.
This is a complete representation of an AlertRule.
{ "targetType": "", "name": "", "message": "", "stateful": true|false, "active": true|false, "emails": [""], "notifMode": "", "conditions": [{ "operator": "", "operands": [{ "attributeId": { "targetId": "", "name": "", "filter": { "": } }, "function": "", "functionParam": "", "valueStr": "", "valueNum": , "valuesStr": [""] }] }], "readOnly": true|false }
Field | Description | Type |
---|---|---|
targetType | The type of target for which the rule applies: SYSTEM | OFFER | string |
name | The name of the rule | string |
message | The message used in the Alert event in case of alert. | string |
stateful | Indicates if the rule is stateful (ie. generates and maintains states) or not (ie. only generates events): true | false. Default value to true. | boolean |
active | Indicates if the rule is enabled or not: true | false | boolean |
emails | The list of emails to send notifications to. | string array |
notifMode |
|
string |
conditions | The list of conditions to be checked. | array of conditions |
conditions.operator | The operator. | string |
conditions.operands | Functions of the chosen operator, you have to define one or more operands. | array of operands |
conditions.operands.attributeId | An attributeId is composed of a targetId and an attribute name. | attributeId |
conditions.operands.attributeId.targetId | The id of the target: systemId, companyId or null to consider the current target (the one responsible for the rule evaluation) | string |
conditions.operands.attributeId.name | The name of the attribute to consider | string |
conditions.operands.attributeId.filter | The criteria to filter the data for aggregation.
Criteria to select a sub-set of usage records:
|
map |
conditions.operands.function | The aggregation function to use in case of an aggregated attributeId (for instance AGG.room.temp/D)
|
string |
conditions.operands.valueStr | A string value to compare with the attribute value functions of the selected operator. | string |
conditions.operands.valueNum | A numeric value to compare with the attribute value functions of the selected operator. | number |
conditions.operands.valuesStr | An array of strings to compare with the attribute value functions of the selected operator. | array of strings |
readOnly | Indicates if the rule is read only or not: true | false. | boolean |
Here is a picture explaining how the notification mode works.
An attributeId is made up of a name and an optional targetId. If targetId is set, the condition only apply on the corresponding target, if not, the conditions applies on all targets of the company.
"attributeId": { "targetId": "", "name": "" }
Here is the list of all attribute names available when creating alert rules. Some names are dynamic and use the following parameters:
- {dataId}: the id of the data sent by the system or a data generated by the platform.
- {timeScale}: for aggregated data, H (hourly), D (daily), M (monthly)
System attributes:
- system.id
- system.name
- system.labels
- system.state
- system.activityState
- system.lifeCycleState
- system.commStatus
- system.commStatus.changeDate
- system.lastCommDate
- system.heartbeat.state
- system.heartbeat.period
- system.heartbeat.errorSLA
- system.heartbeat.warningSLA
- system.offerId
- system.defaultStatusReportState
- system.defaultStatusReportPeriod
- gateway.id
- gateway.imei
- gateway.mac.address
- gateway.serial.number
- subscription.id
System communication:
- system.comm.protocol
- DATA.{dataId}: raw data, for instance DATA.room.temp
- DATA._LON_LAT: the GPS position of the system, used by geofencing operators
- AGG.{dataId}/{timeScale}: aggregated data, for instance AGG.data.room.temp/D
Offer attributes:
- offer.id
- offer.poolBytesLimit: the pool size limit of the offer. It is updated every month according to the current number of active systems.
- offer.poolWarnLimit: 80% of the offer pool size limit by default.
System usage attributes:
- system.usage.status
- system.usage.record.voice.in.phone.number
- system.usage.record.voice.out.phone.number
- system.usage.record.sms.sent.phone.number
- system.usage.record.sms.received.phone.number
- system.usage.record.visited.country
- system.usage.record.imei
Aggregated usage data:
- AGG.{usageDataId}/{timeScale}: see description of the usage data
- AGG.VOICE_* attributes, only available for monthly timescale because voice usages are received from carriers few days after consumption: AGG.VOICE_*/M.
A condition is built with an operator and a list of operands. The first operand of all operators has to define the attribute to check on systems. Details about attributes can be found here
For each operand, one of the following field must be used.
{ "attributeId": {}, "valueStr": "", "valueNum": , "valuesStr": [""] }
Geofencing operators use Well-Known-Text format to define shapes (POLYGON or POINT).
Here is the list of all operators with the operand fields available.
Name | 1st operand | 2nd operand | 3rd operand |
---|---|---|---|
CHANGE | attributeId | ||
EQUALS | attributeId | attributeId/valueStr/valueNum | |
NOT_EQUALS | attributeId | attributeId/valueStr/valueNum | |
GREATER_THAN | attributeId | attributeId/valueNum | |
LESS_THAN | attributeId | attributeId/valueNum | |
EXISTS | attributeId | ||
NOT_EXISTS | attributeId | ||
IN | attributeId | attributeId/valuesStr | |
NOT_IN | attributeId | attributeId/valuesStr | |
CONTAINS1 | attributeId | attributeId/valueStr | |
NOT_CONTAINS | attributeId | attributeId/valueStr | |
STARTS_WITH | attributeId | attributeId/valueStr | |
ENDS_WITH | attributeId | attributeId/valueStr | |
GEO_WITHIN | attributeId(name=DATA._LON_LAT) | valueStr: a POLYGON described with WKT format | |
GEO_NOT_WITHIN | attributeId(name=DATA._LON_LAT) | valueStr: a POLYGON described with WKT format | |
GEO_DISTANCE_TOO_FAR | attributeId(name=DATA._LON_LAT) | attributeId(name=DATA._LON_LAT) or a valueStr containing a POINT in WKT format | valueNum corresponding to the distance in km |
GEO_DISTANCE_TOO_CLOSE | attributeId(name=DATA._LON_LAT) | attributeId(name=DATA._LON_LAT) or a valueStr containing a POINT in WKT format | valueNum corresponding to the distance in km |
1The value of the right operand must be contained in the value of the left operand for the rule to trigger (this is to support cases like the left operand being “systemAttribute: labels” and the right operand being the string value of the label that the rule is checking for). Note: this differs from other containment operators such as IN or GEO_WITHIN where the space/set that must contain the value is specified as a left operand instead.
An alert gathers all the information required to understand what happened on a target for a specific rule.

attributes.id.name | The name of the checked attribute | string |

When it is an aggregated value only the function used to generate the value is provided. For instance if the 'min' function has been used then only the 'min' attribute value is returned. | Attribute value |
