Setup Alerting for specific Metrics
Before you can start setting up alerts for your metrics, you need to establish a destination for sending those alerts. In this case, we’ll set up a Slack contact point so that when alerts are triggered, you receive notifications in your Slack channel.
To ensure your service runs smoothly and avoid disruptions, setting up alerts is crucial. This involves defining specific metrics and thresholds that trigger notifications when certain conditions are met.
A key alert you could create is a Success Rate Alert that notifies you if the success rate falls below 100%, indicating potential problems with your Service.
