Inbound Messages List
Message ID – link to view the raw data received in the message.
Key Mapping Fields – Source, Source Name and Source Identifier show the data that was used in the message for mapping purposes.
Mapping Rule – the mapping rule (integration) to which the message was matched.
Mapping Status – Mapped, Mapping Failed, Mapped Ignored, Pending, Processing, Mapped Appended
Alert ID – link to the AlertOps alert detail.
Mapping Status Definitions:
Mapped Ignored - Mapped Ignored means that a new alert with a close status was received and there are no matching open alerts to be closed (possibly a user manually closed the alert and the monitoring system detected the close and sent a new close alert), or, an alert was received without a valid status value.
Pending Status - Incoming alerts that have a status of Pending are awaiting processing. This is a temporary state that can last up to one minute.
Mapped Status - Incoming alerts that have been successfully process will have a status of Mapped. This will occur for both new alerts when they are opened and existing alerts when they are closed.
Processing Status - Incoming alerts that have a status of Processing are currently processing. This is a temporary state that will appear only for a second.
Mapped Appended - This can mean that a duplicate alert was received, such as receiving another Open status alert for an alert that is already open.
Mapping Failed - Unable to match the message to a mapping (integration) rule
