Creating Alerts
With the Alerts feature, you can set up notifications when business-impacting events occur within your fabric applications. For example, you can set up alerts for high order failure rates, abnormal dips in prices, published SKU counts dropping significantly, or transactional failures.
For an overview of the conceptual topics related to creating an alert, see the Alerts Overview.
