Alert type
The most useful alert for developers: it warns you before writes or queries stop being served normally.
Resulting configuration
{
"name": "Approaching a plan limit",
"alert_type": "quota_warning",
"threshold_type": "percentage",
"threshold_value": 80,
"scope": "total",
"channels": ["email"],
"metric": "add_requests"
}Behavior
How alerts behave
- Thresholds are percentages
- A threshold is expressed as a percentage between 1 and 100 of the limit or budget being watched.
- Scope
- Alerts apply to the whole organization, or per tenant when you allocate usage that way.
- Active state
- An alert can be paused without deleting it, which keeps its history intact.
- History
- Each alert records when it last triggered and how many times, so noisy thresholds are easy to spot.
- Recommended baseline
- One quota_warning at 80% gives you time to act before requests stop being served normally.
