Monitor data and send alerts
Monitor your time series data and send alerts by creating checks, notification rules, and notification endpoints. Or use community templates to monitor supported environments.
Overview
- A check in InfluxDB queries data and assigns a status with a
_levelbased on specific conditions. - InfluxDB stores the output of a check in the
statusesmeasurement in the_monitoringsystem bucket. - Notification rules check data in the
statusesmeasurement and, based on conditions set in the notification rule, send a message to a notification endpoint. - InfluxDB stores notifications in the
notificationsmeasurement in the_monitoringsystem bucket.
Create an alert
To get started, do the following:
- Create checks to monitor data and assign a status.
- Add notification endpoints to send notifications to third parties.
- Create notification rules to check statuses and send notifications to your notifications endpoints.
