Alert rules convert monitoring data into notifications. Instead of watching dashboards, you get pinged when there’s a real problem.
Create an alert rule
- Open your project’s Monitoring → Alerts page.
- Click Add rule.
- Choose the condition — for example, “uptime check failed” or “error rate above 5%”.
- Pick where to send the notification: in-app, email, Slack, or a webhook.
Avoiding alert fatigue
MonkeysCloud uses anti-flap logic: a single blip won’t page the whole team. The check must keep failing across consecutive runs before an alert fires, so you hear about real outages, not momentary hiccups.
What to alert on
- Production downtime (highest priority).
- Rollbacks — your app reverted, so something is wrong.
- Failed builds on main or production branches.
