Alerts

Define what DashX alerts on and who gets told. Alert rules watch your metrics; recipients decide where notifications land.

Create an alert rule

1. Go to Settings → Monitoring & Alerts → Alerts → New Rule.
2. Set:
   • Name (e.g. High CPU Alert).
   • Metric and condition/threshold — e.g. CPU > 90% for a device.
   • Severity — how urgent a match is.
   • Cooldown — minimum time between repeat alerts (0 = no cooldown) so you're not spammed.
   • Recipient(s) — who this rule notifies.
3. Save.

Recipients

Add notification targets once and reuse them across rules:

• Email (e.g. noc@company.com)
• SMS (a phone number — requires SMS & Voice)

tip

Set a cooldown on noisy rules so a flapping device doesn't send fifty texts, and route critical severities to SMS while everything else goes to email.
