Variable Maps

Throughout the Message Processing Lifecycle, your channels and messages have access to various maps. Depending on the scope, the map may only be available in the current channel/connector, or may be globally available across your entire system. These variable maps allow you to store a piece of information that can be used later (in a downstream channel, connector, or somewhere else). A common use for these variables is to provide easy drag-and-drop for connector properties. The Destination Mappings list will display all available connector/channel map variables for example. They are also used in other ways, such as populating Custom Metadata Columns. The following variable maps exist throughout Mirth® Connect: Name JavaScript Variable Get/Put Shortcut Variable Response Map responseMap $r Connector Map connectorMap $co Channel Map channelMap $c Source Map sourceMap $s Global Channel Map globalChannelMap $gc Global Map globalMap $g Configuration Map configurationMap $cfg The table above

Configuration Map

This map is also available across your entire server, across all channels and all messages. Like the global map, that means you can use the values from the configuration map in any channel, or somewhere else like an Alert. Unlike the global map however, this map is editable only from the Configuration Map Settings Tab, and is read-only from the perspective of channels / messages. The values are also String key/values only. This map is useful for global, static settings you want to persist across restarts of Mirth Connect. For example, you could store a variable like "clientAdtPort" and then use Velocity to reference that variable ("${clientAdtPort}") in a TCP Listener. That way you can export the channel on one Mirth® Connect installation, import it into a completely different installation, and then you would not have to edit anything in the channel settings as long as the configuration map is set on both instances. Get configuration map value: var value = configurationMap.get('key');

Advanced Alerting User Guide

Actions

The Actions section enables you to decide what actions to take after your alert is triggered. You can take multiple actions all at once for a single action group, which may include sending emails to multiple users and dispatching messages to multiple channels. Image of the Actions pane. Protocols All protocols also support Velocity Variable Replacement. You can use any of the following Alert Variables, 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 email to the address specified in the Recipient column. User: Same as the Email protocol, the email address used is the one configured for the selected user. Role: Emails are sent to all users within a particular Role-Based Access Control role. Only visible when the Role-Based Access Control extension is installed. Alert Variables A list of general variables that you can use to

Edit Alert View

Use the Edit Alert view to configure and modfiy alerts. An alert is a process that listens for certain types of events and triggers based on configurable settings. From these triggers you can take various actions, like dispatching an e-mail to a user or specific address, or sending a message to a channel. Mirth® Connect by NextGen Healthcare 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 Edit Alert view is where alerts are configured / modified. Once saved, an alert will be displayed on the Alerts view, which is like a dashboard for your currently configured alerts.

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.
