Introduction

The Alert Definitions feature enables IT operations teams to proactively monitor infrastructure, applications, and services.
Key capabilities include:

  • Define precise alert conditions based on metrics using PromQL (Prometheus Query Language)
  • Query time-series data with a robust and flexible syntax
  • Configure alerts to trigger when specific conditions are met

Alert definitions can be configured to detect:

  • Threshold violations when metrics exceed defined limits
  • Anomalies in system behavior or performance
  • Specific patterns in monitoring data

Benefits

  • Early detection: Identify potential issues before they impact users
  • Rapid response: Enable teams to respond swiftly to incidents
  • Minimized impact: Reduce downtime and maintain service performance
