The rate and number of incoming events serve as an important indicator of the state of the system. For example, you can detect when there are too many events, too few, or none at all. Monitoring policies are designed to detect such situations. In a policy, you can specify a lower threshold, an optional upper threshold, and the way the events are counted: by frequency or by total number.
The policy must be applied to the event source. After applying the policy, you can monitor the status of the source: green means everything is OK, red means the stream is outside the configured threshold. If the status is red, an event of the Monitoring type generated. You can also configure notifications to be sent to an arbitrary email address. Policies for monitoring the sources of events are displayed in the table under Source status → Monitoring policies. You can sort the table by clicking the column header of the relevant setting. Clicking a policy opens the data area with policy settings. The settings can be edited.
