Business Engines

In this part of the documentation, we assume that, conceptually, you know what a Business Engine is. If not, please refer to the platform schema and its description, following by the Business Engine section.

Add and delete Engines

This feature allows to add as many Business Engines as needed to be in your system. Each of them should already be connected to a Grafana Instance. In the future, you can manage that connection from the Business Studio as well.

The Overview tab, in addition to the basic engine statistics such as version, status (ok/error), a number of alert rules and actions, features the Alert History.

Alert rules

The Alert rules tab is a part of the Business Alerting feature available in all Business Engines.

To learn more about alert rules, please refer to this documentation's Alert rules section.

Actions

The Actions tab helps to configure actions, which are the set of steps that are triggered by an expected event. The most common scenario is when an action is triggered after an alert rule is broken, but it is just one of the possible scenarios.

To learn more about actions, please refer to this documentation's Actions section.

Environment

All environment variables are displayed on the Environment tab. In the future, we plan to allow them to be modified.
