Alerts in SigNoz give you proactive monitoring across all telemetry signals. Configure alert rules on metrics, logs, traces, anomalies, or exceptions, and route notifications to the right team through your preferred channels.
Key capabilities
- Alert Types: Cover every signal and use case — from threshold-based metric alerts to anomaly detection based on historical baselines.
- Alert history: Review a full history of alert firings and resolutions to understand patterns and recurrence.
- Routing policies: Direct alert notifications to the right team or channel based on labels, severity, or service ownership.
- Planned maintenance windows: Suppress alerts during scheduled downtime to avoid alert fatigue from known events.
- Terraform support: Manage alert rules as code for repeatable, version-controlled alert configuration.
