Alert Configuration

Avoid noisy alerts with warmups and cooldowns.

Stop drowning in noisy notifications, hello inbox zero. AppSignal’s configuration options make sure you receive the right alerts at the right time.

Warmups before alerts

Configure how soon you get an alert after a metric goes out of its limits. Avoid alerts for short spikes in metrics.

Cooldown after incidents

Prevent multiple alerts in a row by setting a cooldown. We’ll create one longer incident instead of multiple short ones.
