# Create notification rules

This page documents an earlier version of InfluxDB OSS. [InfluxDB 3 Core](/influxdb3/core/) is the latest stable version.

#### API token hashing is enabled by default in InfluxDB OSS 2.9.0

Stronger token security: tokens are stored as hashes on disk, so a copy of the database file doesn’t expose usable tokens. Existing tokens are hashed on first startup and the original strings can’t be recovered afterward — **capture any plaintext tokens you still need before you upgrade**.

For more information, see [Token hashing](/influxdb/v2/admin/tokens/#token-hashing).

Once you’ve set up checks and notification endpoints, create notification rules to alert you. *For details, see [Manage checks](/influxdb/v2/monitor-alert/checks/) and [Manage notification endpoints](/influxdb/v2/monitor-alert/notification-endpoints/).*

1. In the navigation menu on the left, select **Alerts > Alerts**.
    
    Alerts
    
2. Select **Notification Rules** near to top of the page.

    -   [Clone an existing notification rule in the UI](#clone-an-existing-notification-rule-in-the-ui)

## Create a new notification rule

1. On the notification rules page, click **Create**.
2. Complete the **About** section:
3. In the **Name** field, enter a name for the notification rule.
4. In the **Schedule Every** field, enter how frequently the rule should run.
5. In the **Offset** field, enter an offset time. For example,if a task runs on the hour, a 10m offset delays the task to 10 minutes after the hour. Time ranges defined in the task are relative to the specified execution time.
6. In the **Conditions** section, build a condition using a combination of status and tag keys.
    -   Next to **When status is equal to**, select a status from the drop-down field.
    -   Next to **AND When**, enter one or more tag key-value pairs to filter by.
7. In the **Message** section, select an endpoint to notify.
8. Click **Create Notification Rule**.

## Clone an existing notification rule

On the notification rules page, click the icon and select **Clone**. The cloned rule appears.
