Custom alert rules

Go to Alerts → Rules → New rule. Pick a metric, a condition, a time window, and a severity. Optional: scope to a specific region, device, or content id.

Routing

Each severity can be routed to different destinations. Common setup:

  • critical → PagerDuty + #incidents Slack channel
  • warn → #ops Slack channel
  • info → admin panel only

Slack format

The Slack adapter renders alerts as attachment-formatted messages with severity color, metric values, and a deep link back to the admin panel.

Acknowledging and snoozing

Acknowledge an alert to remove it from the realtime ops feed. Snooze mutes all firings of the same rule for a period (15 min, 1h, or custom). Snoozes auto-expire — you can’t accidentally mute a rule forever.

Incident runbooks

Attach a runbook URL to each rule. The URL appears in the Slack message and on the alert detail page, so the responder always has the playbook one click away.
