In the Notification center, you can create notifications for when tasks exceed a percentage of their typical duration or a time limit. These notifications trigger as follows:

• Percentage of normal: A threshold percentage of the average duration. The Snaplex calculates the percentage of normal as follows:
  1. The average duration and standard deviation: If not computed in the last 3 days, calculate from the last completed 100 executions in the last 30 days.
  2. The current number of executions must be at least 10.
  3. Convert the specified percentage threshold into a z-score.
  4. Convert the z-score into a number of seconds using this formula threshold_second = duration_avg + duration_sd * z_score.
  5. When the current duration exceeds the threshold_second value, the Snaplex sends a notification (once per execution).
• Time limit: A threshold in minutes that applies to all tasks in the environment or only to infrequent tasks. When task duration exceeds the threshold, the Snaplex sends a notification (once per execution).

Recipients of these notifications can check for the following potential causes:

• The Snaplex is running low on resources, such as CPU or memory, or network bandwidth is limited.

• An endpoint that the Pipeline is connecting to is responding slowly or isn't available.

• The Pipeline is processing an unusually large number of documents or documents of large size.

Percentage

The following image shows the fields available to configure a notification based on when tasks exceed a percentage of their typical duration:

Enter the threshold as a percentage based on the 30-day historical executions.

Time limit

The following image shows the fields available to configure notifications for task duration based on a time limit:

For Apply to, select one of the following options.

• All Tasks: Applies the notification to all tasks in the environment.

• Only Infrequent Tasks: Applies the alert only to tasks that don't run regularly.

Enter the threshold in minutes.
