IB Operation Errors

IB Operation Errors Alert

Alert ID: ib_operation_errors Category: Integration Broker Default lookback: 24 hours

What This Alert Detects

This alert finds asynchronous Integration Broker operation instances that are in Error or Timeout status within a configurable lookback window. These are messages that attempted to process but did not complete successfully.

An IB operation instance represents a single execution of a Service Operation through the Integration Broker. When an instance errors, the message did not reach its destination. The original publish/subscribe data is preserved in the IB tables and can usually be resubmitted from the Service Operations Monitor.

Severity Logic

Error status means the processing actively failed. Timeout means it ran out of time, which may be a transient issue but still warrants investigation.

Alert Details

Each alert item includes:

• Operation instance ID
• Service operation name
• Status (Error or Timeout)
• The originating node
• When the instance was created
• A link to the IB Monitor detail page
