You can receive alerts for BIP messages from IBM App Connect Enterprise to the Middleware Admin system, which will send email notifications or will open Incidents based on the Alert configuration.

"srvid" => ""                             #the "uid" from /var/midleoagent/conf/agentConfig.json
"inttoken" => ""                         #internal API token taken from Middleware Admin Configuration -> Core
url => "http://web/pubapi/monalert"       #web -> the DNS name of the Middleware Admin frontend
