Configuration Options for Conditions
Conditions provide flexible options for defining when the notification rule is triggered and which issues to send as notifications to your designated channel. Validio supports the following condition types:
Condition Type | Description | Configuration Options |
---|---|---|
Owner | Send notifications based on who is the owner of a source. Owners can be assigned on the Sources and Source Details pages. | Select from a list of Owners |
Segment | Send notifications based on one or more segmentation key-value pairs. One segment condition can have multiple key-value pairs. Key-value pairs within a condition are inclusive: Condition COUNTRY=SWEDEN CITY=STOCKHOLM Will match either key-value segment. If you have multiple segment conditions, the key-value pairs between conditions are used for multi-column segmentation matching: Condition 1 COUNTRY=SWEDEN Condition 2 CITY=STOCKHOLM Will match the specific segment that contains both conditions. | Field Value |
Severity | Send notifications based on their severity. Note: Only Validator Incidents have a severity. For more information, see About Validator Incidents. | Low Medium High |
Source | Send notifications only when incidents are generated by the selected sources. | All sources Select from a list of Sources |
Tag | Send notifications when incidents occur on sources or validators containing the selected pre-defined tag. For example, to notify on incidents from a specific validator on a source, you can tag that validator and then add a tag condition to the notification rule for that tag. Note: You can only route notifications based on Label tags. | Label Custom |
Type | Send notifications when the selected type of issue occurs. | Schema change Validator incident Source errors Source segment limit exceeded |
