Alert Workflows
Alert workflows provide scripts directly within the Datalogz Alert details page to help you resolve issues quickly and efficiently. These pre-configured scripts allow you to take immediate action on a problem.
How to use alert workflows
To get started with an alert workflow, you'll first need to access the specific alert you want to work on and do the following:
Select an action on the Alert details page.
Click Copy or Run to use the script or click Download Full Script.
Execute the script: Run the provided script in your BI environment.
Validate that the action has been taken in the BI environment.
Once confirmed, update the alert's status.
Add a comment when you change an alert's status
When you change an alert's workflow status, you can add a comment explaining the decision. The comment is saved with the alert and the most recent one appears on the Alert Details tab, so anyone reviewing the alert later can see who changed what and why.
On the Alert Details page, change the alert's status (for example from To Do to Resolved).
Enter a comment in the confirmation dialog describing what you did or why.
Click Save.
A comment is optional, but a short note such as "Republished the dataset, refresh now succeeds" gives your team an audit trail and prevents duplicate work.
Automatic status changes
To keep the alert queue focused on what is still live, Datalogz closes stale event-based alerts automatically. An EVENT alert with no new activity for 30 days is moved to Potentially Resolved. If the condition recurs, a new alert is raised, so nothing is lost. This keeps owners focused on active issues without manually clearing alerts that have quietly resolved themselves.
