Alerts
The alerting policy list is based on two types of triggers: events and treshholds. They are all monitored on an ongoing basis. To receive a message about an incident immediately - subscribe to the alert.
The Alerts
page will look a bit different depending on whether you are an Organization
owner or member. As a member you will be able to see the instance alerting policies and you will be able to subscribe to them. However, as owner, you will be able to create, modify, and remove policies, and add/remove subscribers.
Creating new policies
You can create up to three alerting policies for each instance:
- Uptime check fail alert
- HTTP 5XX
- HTTP 4XX
To create new alert click Add New Alert
button located in the bottom left corner of the Alerting page. Here, you will be asked whether you would like to use the subscribers from an existing policy or to add them later.
The button to add new policies will be automatically hidden once you reach the limit of three policies.
Managing policies
This page is only accessible for Organization Owners.
As an Organization
owner you can add and remove instance alerting policies.
Adding policies was explained in the previous section. To remove an instance alerting policy, click Edit Policy
button. This will open a modal with further details about that policy like the name of the policy and the number of subscribers. Click Delete Alert
button to proceed with the policy deletion. From now on, all previously subscribed emails wont receive any new notifications about it.
Managing subscribers
This page is only accessible for Organization Owners.
As an Organization
owner you can add and remove other subscribers for this instance alerting policy.
To add a new subscriber to the policy, click the Manage Subscribers
dropdown button. This will open an accordion of items where each item will be a subscribed email address. Apart from that, there will be an autocomplete component that allows you to add a new email after typing it.
