Target Triggers
A trigger is essentially a time condition. It specifies when the metric will be evaluated. The different types of triggers are:
Daily Trigger
This trigger will activate every n days (1 day, 2 days, 3 days, etc.) at a specified time. The time is specified in HH:mm [am|pm], e.g., 11:39 pm. You can also select the weekday option, which will activate the trigger at the specified time on weekdays.
Weekly Trigger
This trigger will activate every n weeks (1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, etc.) at a specified time and day of the week or, optionally, every day of the week. The time is specified in HH:mm [am|pm], e.g., 11:39 pm.
Monthly Trigger
This trigger will activate every nth day of the specified month/s or every month (e.g., 21st day of February, 25th day of November, etc.) at a specified time, or every nth day of the week of a month/s or every month (e.g., 2nd Sunday of April) at a specified time. The time is specified in HH:mm [am|pm], e.g., 11:39 pm.
Run Once Trigger
This trigger will activate once on a certain day at a specified time. (e.g., Nov. 25, 2006 at 11.30 am). The time is specified in HH:mm [am|pm], e.g., 11:39 pm.
Custom Target Trigger
It is also possible to create your own custom target trigger. Click on the 'New' link, located below the navigation tree and select the 'Trigger' option. Specify the fully qualified class name of the custom target trigger class. This class must implement the 'inetsoft.analytic.alert.TargetTrigger' interface. For more information on this interface, view the Javadocs found in your {InstallationRoot}/sree_doc.zip file. This target trigger will automatically appear in the list of triggers.
Specifying Multiple Target Triggers
It is possible to specify multiple target triggers. Click on the 'Multiple Triggers' button to the bottom right of the editing panel. This will display the target trigger list to which you can add, delete, or edit triggers by clicking on the 'Add', 'Delete', and 'Edit' buttons, respectively.
