Manage Project Alerts
Zilliz Cloud offers two types of alerts for resource monitoring: Organization Alerts for billing-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 project alerts.
This feature is exclusively available to clusters in the Standard and Enterprise plans. For more information, see Select the Right Cluster Plan.
Overview​
Below is a table outlining the default trigger conditions for predefined project alert targets.
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.
For more information about recommended actions, refer to Metrics & Alerts Reference.

Components of an alert:
-
Alert Target: Preconfigured by Zilliz Cloud with trigger conditions and severity.
-
Status: Indicates if the alert is active (ON) or not. When an alert in an ON status, the specified recipients will receive notifications once the conditions are met.
-
Condition: Trigger conditions for the alert. For each project alert target, the trigger condition includes a threshold value and a duration value that must be met for the alert to be triggered. The condition can be set to one of the following operators: >, >=, <, <=, =. The threshold value can be a numeric value, such as a number for metrics like query latency, query QPS, search QPS, CU Capacity, and CU Computation. The duration specifies how long the threshold must be exceeded, which is set to a minimum of 1 minute and a maximum of 30 minutes.
-
Severity Level: Categorized as WARNING or CRITICAL.
-
Receiver: Designated roles or email addresses for receiving notifications. You can also set up custom notification channels using webhooks. For more information, refer to Manage Notification Channels.
