I try to trigger a Seyren alert if the value received is null, but can't find a way to do so.

I have read several answers, like here and also here which says that it should be possible with the Allow no data checkbox.

However, what should I put into the field Warn level and Error level, since those fields are useless though mandatory?

Thanks for your help!

The way I've done this before is to use the transformNull function to switch a null value with something else which you can then alert on.

For example, if I always expect my values to be 0 or greater and null would signal a problem I'd use a target of transformNull(my.target.string,-1). I can then use a warn value of -0.5 and error value of -1 to trigger an alert when there's a null value.

The value you choose to switch null with will vary depending on the data you've got but hopefully you should be able to find something.

  • Thanks @neilprosser. That is what I ended up doing. I just set my triggers between -.9 and -1 (avoid false alerts). – Mornor Dec 18 '16 at 11:48
