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.
