Monitors and alerts

Open Team spaces → Monitors. The page counts your Monitors, how many are Active, how many are Firing, and how many alerts are Open. It has two tabs: Watchers, the list of monitors, and Alerts.

Create a monitor

Click New monitor and choose what to watch:

  • Metric — a metric threshold. Set Fire when it falls below, is at or below, rises above, is at or above, equals, or differs from a Threshold.
  • Rule — a rule match. Choose the table it runs Over, and Fire when at least this many rows match.

Then set the Monitor name, how often to Check (Every 5 minutes, Every 15 minutes, Hourly, Every 6 hours, or Daily), and the Severity (Info, Warning, or Critical).

A monitor is Active, Firing, or Paused; you can turn it on or off from the list. Each alert it raises is Open until it is Resolved.

KPI alerts from dashboards

On a dashboard KPI card, Alert me when… creates an alert that also appears here. Filter the list by Dashboard KPIs to see them. See KPI alerts.

Where alerts go

  • In the app — every alert appears on the Monitors page and in Notifications.
  • Email — KPI alerts can email you.
  • Slack — when your administrator sets a workspace alert webhook, monitors post there.

A Relay can pick up work when a monitor fires — choose When a monitor alerts as a responsibility trigger.
