Alerts

An alert is the record generated when a monitor detects behavior outside the expected range. It represents a risk or anomaly event that requires attention — such as a sharp drop in transaction volume, an abnormal increase in errors, or the crossing of a manually configured threshold.

Lifecycle

An alert is born open and remains in that state while the anomalous behavior persists. When the metric values return to the expected pattern, the alert is automatically closed.

State Description
Open Anomaly or condition still active
Closed Behavior returned to normal

Alerts are also automatically closed when the associated monitor is deactivated or removed.

Alert source

Each alert is linked to a specific monitor and indicates which detection rule was triggered:

  • Anomaly: the machine learning model identified a significant deviation from the historical pattern.
  • Condition: the aggregation value exceeded a manually defined threshold.

The alert includes the observed value at the time of detection and the direction of the deviation — high, low, or both, as configured in the monitor.

Notifications

If the monitor has a notification channel configured, the platform sends a notification as soon as the alert is opened. There is no closure notification by default.

If no channel is configured, alerts are only available in the admin panel.

Visualization

Open alerts appear in the panel linked to the corresponding monitor. You can view:

  • the period during which the alert was active;
  • the observed value that triggered the detection;
  • the metric chart with the alert interval highlighted.

Relationship with metrics and monitors

The alert is the final result of the platform’s analysis chain:

  • the metric aggregates events into time series;
  • the monitor observes those series at regular intervals;
  • the alert is opened when a rule is triggered.

A single monitor can generate multiple alerts over time — each anomaly cycle that begins and ends generates an independent alert.
