    Alerts

    To view Stream Connect Alerting properties, navigate to Integration Hub > Stream Connect > Alert Properties. You must have the Kafka Admin role to view or modify alerting properties.

    The Stream Connect Alerting UI has the following alerts.
    • Producer Failed Alert. Triggered when a producer fails to produce messages to a topic.
    • Queue Depth Processing Time Alert. Triggered when the estimated message processing time exceeds the specified value.
    • Consumer Poll Failed Alert. Triggered when a consumer is unable to connect to a topic or read the messages in a topic. For example, if a topic is deleted from Hermes while the associated subscription is still active.
    • Consumer Processing Alert. Triggered when a consumer fails to process messages from a topic.
    • Topic Replication Failed Age Alert. Triggered when the topic replication status remains FAILED for longer than the specified value.
    • Topic Replication Inactivity Alert. Triggered when topic replication is inactive for longer than the specified value.
    Table 1. Producer Failed Alert
    Alert level

    Severity level for the alert.

    The options are:
    • IGNORED
    • INFO
    • WARNING
    • CRITICAL

    Default: CRITICAL
    Time interval, in seconds, required between two detections to have them count as separate events.

    The minimum number of seconds to wait before sending another notification for the same alert. Detections within this time interval count as a single alert and are linked to the same alert record.

    Default: 3600 seconds
    Specifies the number of separate notifications to send when there's a Producer Failed Alert for multiple topics. Select Global to receive a single notification, or Per Topic to receive a notification for each topic.

    Select Per Topic to create an alert for each topic, or Global to create one alert for all topics.

    Default: Global
    Table 2. Queue Depth Processing Time Alert
    Threshold, in seconds, for the queue depth processing time estimate to be considered info.

    If the estimated queue processing time is greater than this value, generate an alert with a severity of INFO.

    Default: 0 seconds

    A value of 0 disables the alert at the specified severity level. To completely disable the alert, set the value to 0 for all three severity levels (INFO, WARNING, and CRITICAL).
    Threshold, in seconds, for the queue depth processing time estimate to be considered a warning.

    If the estimated queue processing time is greater than this value, generate an alert with a severity of WARNING.

    Default: 14400 seconds
    Threshold, in seconds, for the queue depth processing time estimate to be considered critical.

    If the estimated queue processing time is greater than this value, generate an alert with a severity of CRITICAL.

    Default: 86400 seconds
    Time interval, in seconds, required between two detections to have them count as separate events.

    The minimum number of seconds to wait before sending another notification for the same alert. Detections within this time interval count as a single alert and are linked to the same alert record.

    Default: 3600 seconds
    Specifies the number of separate notifications to send when there's a Queue Depth Alert for multiple consumers. Select Global to receive a single notification, or Per Consumer to receive a notification for each consumer.

    Select Per Consumer to create an alert for each consumer, or Global to create one alert for all consumers.

    Default: Global
    Table 3. Consumer Poll Failed Alert
    Alert level

    Severity level for the alert.

    The options are:
    • IGNORED
    • INFO
    • WARNING
    • CRITICAL

    Default: CRITICAL
    Time interval, in seconds, required between two detections to have them count as separate events.

    The minimum number of seconds to wait before sending another notification for the same alert. Detections within this time interval count as a single alert and are linked to the same alert record.

    Default: 3600 seconds
    Specifies the number of separate notifications to send when there's a Consumer Poll Failed Alert for multiple consumers. Select Global to receive a single notification, or Per Consumer to receive a notification for each consumer.

    Select Per Consumer to create an alert for each consumer, or Global to create one alert for all consumers.

    Default: Global
    Table 4. Consumer Processing Alert
    Alert level

    Severity level for the alert.

    The options are:
    • IGNORED
    • INFO
    • WARNING
    • CRITICAL

    Default: WARNING
    Time interval, in seconds, required between two detections to have them count as separate events.

    The minimum number of seconds to wait before sending another notification for the same alert. Detections within this time interval count as a single alert and are linked to the same alert record.

    Default: 3600 seconds
    Specifies the number of separate notifications to send when there's a Consumer Processing Alert for multiple consumers. Select Global to receive a single notification, or Per Consumer to receive a notification for each consumer.

    Select Per Consumer to create an alert for each consumer, or Global to create one alert for all consumers.

    Default: Per Consumer
    Table 5. Topic Replication Failed Age Alert
    Threshold, in seconds, for the topic replication failed age estimate to be considered info.

    Triggered when the topic replication status remains FAILED for longer than the specified value. With a MID Server cluster, this alert is triggered if any of the MID Servers in the cluster has a topic replication status that remains FAILED for longer than the specified value.

    Default: 0 seconds

    A value of 0 disables the alert at the specified severity level. To completely disable the alert, set the value to 0 for all three severity levels (INFO, WARNING, and CRITICAL).
    Threshold, in seconds, for the topic replication failed age estimate to be considered a warning.

    If the topic replication status remains FAILED for longer than this value, generate an alert with a severity of WARNING.

    Default: 1800 seconds
    Threshold, in seconds, for the topic replication failed age estimate to be considered critical.

    If the topic replication status remains FAILED for longer than this value, generate an alert with a severity of CRITICAL.

    Default: 3600 seconds

    Default: Global
    Table 6. Topic Replication Inactivity Alert
    Threshold, in seconds, for the topic replication inactivity estimate to be considered info.

    If there are no messages replicated between the source and destination topic by any server for longer than this value, generate an alert with a severity of INFO.
