DATA ACTIVATOR - why i'm getting the alert approximately one hour after the event Time ?

Hi OriBy ,

• To set alerts to evaluate more frequently,open a Real-Time Dashboard.
• Toggle from viewing to editing mode in the toolbar.
• Choose a tile on the Real-Time Dashboard for Activator to monitor.
• Select the More menu (...) at the top-right of the tile, and choose Set Alert. You can also use the Set Alert button in the Real-Time Dashboard menu bar.
• In the Set Alert pane, configure your rule conditions by specifying the field to monitor and defining the threshold. Choose whether to receive notifications via email or Microsoft Teams.In Run query every give the specific time.

Hi OriBy 

The delay happens because of:

1. Data Source or Ingestion Delay: Events are not sent or processed immediately.
2. Alert Evaluation Frequency: Alerts may be evaluated on a schedule (e.g., every hour).
3. Processing Latency: Query complexity or slow pipelines can add delays.

Fixes:

• Reduce alert evaluation intervals (e.g., every minute).
• Use real-time ingestion (e.g., streaming data instead of batch).
• Optimize data pipeline and queries for faster processing.
• Ensure time synchronization (e.g., using NTP).
