Email Alerts in Tyk Cloud

1

Hello,

I have recently started using Tyke cloud and have a query ?
can an email alert be generated when API Failes.

Hi

Here are the event types that can be triggered

With cloud, you could perhaps use with a web-hook with these for something like auth failure:
https://tyk.io/docs/report-monitor-trigger-events/event-types/

For on prem, you have more options, including custom middleware or instrumentation.

Hi there - I am using on-prem Tyk. Can you elaborate on what options we have for alerting? I was hoping it was as easy as plugging in some email addresses based on error type / level and Tyk would just email us when there is issues.

Is this not possible?

Thanks,
Lee

At the moment you can fire webhooks //tyk.io/docs/basic-config-and-security/report-monitor-trigger-events/webhooks/ on different events. I think if you used a custom event handler https://tyk.io/docs/report-monitor-trigger-events/custom-handlers-javascript/ you can send emails on events triggering.
