Alert notifications
When a monitor generates an alert in Chronosphere Observability Platform, it triggers
notifiers based on the assigned notification policy.
Notifiers are the endpoints receiving
notifications, including where to deliver alerts and who to notify. You can configure
notifiers to send details of the alert to a channel such as email, PagerDuty, or
Slack.
Observability Platform also supports unfurling of monitor graphs in
Slack. This integration enables Slack
users to view or share monitors in Slack channels aimed at mitigating alerts.
Notification policies are rules that determine how
to route notifications to notifiers based on signals that trigger from monitors.
Teams own notification policies, and assign them either to a specific monitor or set
as a default policy for all monitors in a specified collection.
Optionally, you can use signals to create groups of
notifications. Signals determine how to group alerts, which affects how many
notifications Observability Platform sends.
To view a history of alerts for a monitor, in the navigation menu select
Alerts > Monitors
and then click the Alert history tab
for the selected monitor.
