Question

Content

Hello,

I have a question regarding metric alert or email notification,

let suppose there is KPI for total sales MTD (1M), I want to add a condition to alert the users if this KPI became greater than 1M

Can I apply this scenario using Agent ? or can I find an option that may help in the dashboard or Analysis

I'm always careful with OTBI since it's not "real" Oracle Analytics but a baked-in, black-boxed version, but the normal approach is this:

- Create a Condition (object type) which evaluates to true or false for your measure

- Create an Agent to deliver the alert which you schedule to run once per hour for example (or however often your data changes)

- In that Agent, go to the Conditions tab and choose "Use a condition" and select the condition you've created

That will run the Agent once per hour and check whether the threshold has been reached.
