Create an import alert

The "Alerts" tab in the "Imports" menu allows you to view the list of import alerts and also to create a new import alert, which allows you to be warned if a file type is not received after a certain period.

Import Alerts are to be distinguished from the data value alerts present in the "Alerts" tab and for which you are warned if an energy data criterion is exceeded (example: a gas flow rate in m3/h that exceeds the defined alert threshold). Here, Import Alerts are only linked to the non-receipt of the file containing one or more meters in the platform.

To access the imports click"Import" in the left-hand navigation bar.

To create an import alert, click the "New import" button at the top of the page and then click "Create an import alert" to add a new import alert

In the creation form that appears, you need to define:

• the name of the alert (optional);
• the pattern, which is used to detect via the filename the type of file targeted (the % character placed before a string is used to ignore any character before that string and the % character placed after a string is used to ignore any character placed after it).
• his timezone.
• his activation delay, i.e. the minimum duration for which the absence of the targeted file type activates the alert and triggers an automatic email to be sent.
• the user recipients of the platform who will be notified by email when the alert is activated.
• the emails of any non-user recipients of the platform who will be notified when the alert is activated.

These various parameters can be modified at a later date. It will also be possible to delete the alert.

Then click "Add".
