Edit Alert Tasks

Task Icon	Task Name	Description
	Save Alert	Saves all changes made to the current alert. If the alert is enabled, it automatically listens for new events to trigger on. Note that since many alerts rely on dispatching e-mails, you are warned if your global SMTP settings are not configured on the Server Settings Tab.
	Export Alert	Exports the current alert to an XML file.

Alert Enabled Channels

This section of the Edit Alert View allows you to decide which channels and connectors may trigger an alert. You can choose to, for example, only listen for error events coming from source connectors, and ignore those coming from destination connectors. The [New Channels] option indicates that you want an alert to listen for error events on any new channels that are created for a channel after the alert was initially created. Similarly, the [New Destinations] option indicates that you want an alert to listen for error events on any new destinations that are created for a channel after the alert was initially created.

Alert Actions

This section of the Edit Alert View allows you to decide what actions to take after your alert has been triggered. You can take multiple actions all at once for a single trigger event, which may include sending e-mails to multiple users and dispatching messages to multiple channels. Protocols All protocols also support Velocity Variable Replacement, you can use any of the Alert Variables below, or any Global Map variable. Channel: The template is sent as a message to the channel selected in the Recipient column. The subject is not used for this protocol. Email: The subject and template is used to send an e-mail to the address specified in the Recipient column. User: Same as the Email protocol, the e-mail address used is the one configured for the selected user. Role: E-mails will be sent to all users within a particular Role-Based Access Control role. Only visible when User Authorization is installed. Alert Variables Parent topic: Edit Alert View

Global Map

This map is available across your entire server, across all channels and all messages. That means you can store a value during message processing in one channel, and use that value from a different channel, or somewhere else like an Alert. You can also store global map values in the global scripts. Like the global channel map, this map is useful for storing stateful, non-serializable objects like a database Connection. It is in-memory only, meaning that if Mirth® Connect is restarted, the entries in this map are not preserved anywhere. It is also a concurrent map, which means that "null" values cannot be stored in it. Get global map value: var value = globalMap.get('key'); var value = $g('key'); Put global map value: globalMap.put('key', 'value'); $g('key', 'value'); Note: By default the "Clear global map on redeploy" option is enabled on the Server Settings Tab. You may want to disable this if you want the global map to remain unchanged when you redeploy all channels. Parent topic: Va

Alert Error Types and Regex

This section of the Edit Alert View allows you to decide what type of errors you want your alert to trigger on. This includes choosing among categories of error types, and optionally using a regular expression that only allows events whose error source, error message, or exception stacktrace matches to cause an alert trigger to occur.
