Alerts View

An alert is a process that listens for certain types of events and creates triggers based on configurable settings. From these triggers you can take various actions, like dispatching an email to a user or specific address, or sending a message to a channel. Mirth® Connect comes with a built-in, error-based, alerting system that listens for error events from selected channels. The Advanced Alerting extension adds on this by also including powerful metric-based alerts, escalation levels, scheduling, notification throttling, and other advanced features.

The Alerts View is like a dashboard for your currently configured alerts. You can view which ones are enabled and how many times an alert has triggered since it was last enabled.
