Failed event alerts

info

This documentation only applies to Snowplow BDP. See the feature comparison page for more information about the different Snowplow offerings.

Failed event alerts automatically notify you when failed events occur in your data pipeline. Set up alerts to receive notifications via email or Slack when validation errors, resolution errors, or other data quality issues arise.

• The alerting system monitors your failed events and sends notifications based on the filters you configure.
• Alerts are checked every 10 minutes and sent to your specified destinations when matching failed events are detected.

These alert destinations are supported:

• Email: send notifications to one or more email addresses
• Slack: send notifications to specific Slack channels

What you can filter on

Configure alerts to trigger only for specific types of failed events:

• Issue types: select ValidationError, ResolutionError, or both
• Data structures: filter by specific schemas or event types
• App IDs: filter by application identifiers
