Alerting is a critical feature in monitoring and managing your projects. It allows you to be notified when certain conditions or thresholds are met, ensuring that you can take action promptly to address potential issues.

Key Concepts

  • Thresholds: Set predefined thresholds to trigger alerts when certain metrics exceed or fall below a certain value.
  • Alerts: Notifications that are sent when a threshold is met.
  • Alerting Policies: Rules that define which alerts should be triggered based on specific conditions.

How to Configure Alerting

  1. Define Thresholds: Identify the metrics that are important for your project and set thresholds for them.
  2. Create Alerting Policies: Define the conditions under which an alert should be triggered.
  3. Configure Notification Channels: Choose how you want to receive alerts (e.g., email, SMS, Slack).

Example Scenario

Imagine you are monitoring the CPU usage of your application. You can set a threshold of 80% for CPU usage. If the CPU usage exceeds 80% for more than 5 minutes, an alert will be triggered, and you will receive a notification.
