Proof of Concept Vision
Business Intelligence is a POC with a full launch planned for 2024-2025, featuring:
- Business Alerting
- High-performance Business Engine
- Business Studio
- Business Reporting
- Dashboard Management
Revamped Alerting Panel
The updated Alerting panel centralizes alert management with an intuitive layout, aligned with Grafana’s alerting basics.
Alert Card
Each alert gets a sleek card displaying:
- Title and evaluated panel name.
- Schedule details.
- Status indicators and action buttons.
Statuses
Two statuses track each alert:
- Active/Paused: Is it running or on hold?
- Run State:
- Scheduled: Queued but not yet run.
- OK: No breaches or patterns detected.
- Alerting: Thresholds breached or pattern found.
- Error: Issue with query, annotation, or webhook.
New alerts start as Active and Scheduled. Pausing or editing resets them to Scheduled.
Action Buttons
Four options empower control:
- Info: View alert details.
- Pause/Active: Toggle the alert’s state.
- Edit: Open the edit drawer (resets to Scheduled on save).
- Delete: Remove the alert with confirmation.
Regex Pattern Evaluation
A new Regex Pattern option joins Thresholds in alert evaluations:
- Thresholds: Checks data against panel-defined limits.
- Regex Pattern: Scans specified fields (optional) for a defined pattern.
See it in the Evaluation category above.
Webhook Enhancements
Test Connectivity
Verify webhook endpoints with a Test Connectivity button in the Edit Webhook drawer.
Use by Default
Set a webhook as the default—automatically used when none is specified—for seamless alerting.
