Maestro user guide
In UiPath Maestro, you can create alerts to proactively monitor key process behaviors and respond to issues in real time. Alerts can be configured to trigger based on specific conditions—such as faulted instances, long runtimes, or unusual execution volumes—and can be scoped to particular processes, folders, or tenants. This functionality supports both operational awareness and governance by ensuring critical events never go unnoticed.
Key capabilities
- Proactive monitoring – Receive notifications when process behavior breaches a threshold, before issues escalate.
- Condition-based triggers – Fire alerts on conditions such as faulted instances, long runtimes, or unusual execution volumes.
- Flexible scoping – Apply alerts to a specific process, folder, or tenant.
- Real-time response – Surface critical events the moment they occur, so operations stay on track.
- Operational awareness and governance – Ensure no critical event goes unnoticed and reinforce accountability across your automated processes.
- Centralized management in Insights – Review, edit, and audit Maestro alerts alongside the rest of your real-time monitoring.
Where alerts live
Alerts in Maestro are created directly from any monitoring dashboard widget. Every widget exposes a bell icon for alerting; if a widget already has at least one alert, the bell shows a red dot. Alerts created from Maestro dashboards are also synced to Insights, in the Real-time monitoring section, where you can manage them centrally and review alert history.
Create an alert
- Open the Monitoring tab for the process you want to watch.
- Locate the widget whose metric you want to track (for example, Incidents over time, Completed instances, or Top active instances by longest duration).
- Select the bell icon on the widget to open Create alert.
- Fill in the following fields:
- Title – a descriptive name for the alert.
- Metric – what the alert should watch.
- Condition – the threshold expression (for example, Greater than) and the threshold value.
- Evaluation Window – how often the condition is evaluated. The minimum is one minute for Incident count and Process duration, and one hour for all other prebuilt and custom metrics.
- Recipients – who receives the notification.
- Applied dashboard filters – a read-only summary of the dashboard filters captured at the moment of creation (for example, date range, version, status, elements, variables).
- Select Create alert to save.
Result: The alert is created and begins monitoring the selected metric according to the configured conditions.
An alert captures a snapshot of the dashboard filters at the moment of creation. Subsequent changes to dashboard filters or other alert fields do not modify the alert's saved values. To change the scope an alert evaluates, delete and recreate the alert with the desired filters applied.
