Alert Quick Start
This guide walks through checking and resolving fired alerts and configuring alert delivery rules.
Prerequisites
- You can launch the Alert app from the desktop
- You have permission (IAM) to review and act on alerts
1. Check alerts
On the Alert board, review fired alerts by state (Firing · Acknowledged · Resolved), severity (Critical · Warning), and target. Select alerts to Acknowledge, or Resolve them once handling is complete.
2. Analyze an alert
Click an alert name to open its detail. Along with the summary cards (state, severity, target, started time, occurrence count), you can review the Overview (identification/handling info), Timeline (state-change history), and Delivery history (delivery records) tabs.
3. Configure delivery rules
On Delivery settings, use New rule to create a delivery rule. Choose the alert rules (Rule) and severity to match, set the repeat-suppression time (Mute time), and specify the delivery channel (Notification Center · Email · Slack) and recipients (Users · User groups).
