Overview of Monitoring Events

A monitoring event is a predefined action that can be triggered based on the results that are returned by a business rule. For example, you could create a rule that compared the value in the Profits per Employee field to the value in the Assets field for each row in a table. You could associate a task with the rule so that rows in which the value of Profits per Employee is less than Assets would trigger an event: a set of fields from these rows would be logged to a DataFlux repository. The fields in each row could, for example, identify a cost center where profits were less than assets.

The topic Create a New Task and Associate it With the Rule describes how to associate events with a task. As described in that topic, you can display a list of the default events from the Add Events dialog.

The table below describes the default events that are provided with DataFlux Data Management Studio.

Monitoring Events Description
Log error to repository, Log error to text file, Write a row to a table These are very similar. The only difference is the location where the information is written: to a DataFlux repository, to a flat file, or to a database table.
