Alerts
How to use the Alerts feed to view, filter and understand alerts within your cloud.
Pelanor Alerts help FinOps and DevOps teams stay on top of important cost-related events in the cloud infrastructure. They combine built-in and customizable alerts that you can adapt to your organization’s processes and priorities.
Alert Types
- Anomaly Alert – triggered when a custom Anomaly Monitor crosses its notification threshold
- Budget Alert – triggered when spend exceeds the configured budget threshold
- Real-Time Metrics Alert (Beta) – raised when the platform detects a spike in real-time metrics that could lead to a future cost spike
Alert Statuses
- Active Alert – the alert is open and currently relevant
- Dismissed – the alert was manually closed via the Status dropdown
- Timed Out – the alert was automatically closed after exceeding the Timeout Duration set in the Anomaly Monitor (Anomaly alerts only)
