Manage Organization Alerts

Zilliz Cloud offers two types of alerts for resource monitoring: Organization Alerts for license-related matters and Project Alerts for operational performance of clusters in specific projects. For a quick reference, refer to Metrics & Alerts Reference.

This topic describes how to view and manage organization alerts.

Overview​

Below is a table outlining the default configuration for each organization alert.

When an alert in an ON status, the specified recipients will receive notifications once the conditions are met. You can edit an alert to change its status.
