When a new leak is collected in the field, a notification can be sent to operations managers and others in your organization. This notification is configured using the ArcGIS GeoEvent Server. Prior to configuring the notification, verify your system requirements and ensure you have installed GeoEvent Server.

In order to configure the notification, you will need to create an input, output, and GeoEvent Service. Follow the steps below to configure notifications.

Configure input connector

An input connector is a component of GeoEvent Server that can be configured to receive a data stream from a data source. For example, the leak feature layer can be used in an input connector in order to trigger a notification when data is reported in the field.

To configure an input connector for real time notifications, complete the following steps:

1. Log into the ArcGIS GeoEvent Manager.
2. Register your ArcGIS Server or ArcGIS organizational account. Once this is set as part of the managed data stores, you can begin to use the feature services published to this organization as inputs to GeoEvent Services.
3. Add a new Poll an ArcGIS Server for Feature Input Connector.
4. Configure the input connector to stream the data collected from the leak feature layer. You can also use a definition query to limit when a feature is polled. For example, only polling for features that have a status of open or high priority.

Configure output connector

An output connector is a component of GeoEvent Server that can be configured to prepare and send processed data from an input to an end user in an expected format.

To configure an output connector for real time notifications, complete the following steps:

1. Add a new Send an Email Output Connector.
2. Configure the output connector to send an email notification to the appropriate members of your organization. When configuring the connector, you can use fields from the feature that is collected in the field in the email message using a dollar sign and bracket (${FIELD NAME}) denotation.

Configure GeoEvent Service

Once you have configured an input and output connector, you can create a GeoEvent Service to process an input GeoEvent to an output. For enabling real time notifications, a simple GeoEvent Service can be used. However, additional components (such as filters) can be used in the service to meet your organization's requirements.

To configure a GeoEvent Service for real time notifications, complete the following steps:

1. Add a new GeoEvent Service defining the service name and description of the service.
2. Configure the service by adding the input and output connectors you have configured. If required, add additional filters and connect the components to define the event flow.
