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)

## Alerts List

The **Alerts List** screen shows all alerts in the active Workspace. By default, only **Active** alerts are displayed.

## Quick Actions

From the **Alerts List** you can:
