Incident for Process that runs once a day
We want to use dynaTrace to track our nightly jobs This will only generate one purepath per day However, I want to be alerted with an incident if this job fails
Whats the best way to accomplish this?
I did a search and didn't find anything that referenced this scenario
Assuming that the "failure status" of your job can be identified through a certain Exception that is thrown you could set up an Incident when this particular exception is thrown. Or - if it is not an exception then I am sure there is something else that tells you whether the Job failed. All you need is a measure that identifies that error, e.g: "Count of Exception" or "Count of special Error Message Invocation", ... - then set the upper severe threshold to 1 and use it with an Incident.
that should work
I will give that a shot since in this case we are throwing a specific exception
Could I also get it to work this way? Add it as a Business Transaction and then add it to the Application Overview dashboard for baselining/monitoring. Then create a static failure rate of 0%? So if it fails, it will register a failure Does this need "significant measurements" for the failure rate to throw an alert? If so, it won't work since there is only one purepath per day
One violation per day is probably NOT significant - therefore I would go with the approach I told you
