Alerts

Alerts notify your team the moment something goes wrong, and when it recovers.

Alert policies

Policies let you define when to alert, e.g. only after 2 consecutive failures from at least 3 regions.

latency policy create \
  --name "strict" \
  --consecutive-failures 2 \
  --quorum 3

WARNING

Alerts without a policy will fire on the first failure from any single region.
