Hi Lorena,

it is a long time since this question was made, but I have something that
could be helpful.

I followed the steps suggested by Lars and I wrote a script that makes the
job. It reads a report table through the webAPI, extracts the value we want
to check and, if it is greater than a threshold, sends a message.

To make things easier, I defined a reportTable with a single indicator, a
single orgunit and a single period, and this script works fine with that.
If other thing is needed, some changes must be done in the line where the
value is extracted. This script could be a template.

The problem that I have found here is to define a report table which
contains the value that I am looking for. To avoid having to redefine the
report table each time, the periods must be relative. But the shortest
relative period is monthly, and that is too long for an alert. The next
release will include weekly relative periods, so that will be helpful here.

regards,

Víctor
