Timeseries Alerting

Alerts on Timeseries charts allow you to trigger notifications when the value of one of your timeseries metrics exceeds or drops below a threshold that you have configured. You can create up to 10 alerts and distribute them across any combination of your metrics.

Configuring an alert

Alerts are configured when creating or editing a chart. Currently, alerts are only supported for Timeseries charts.

Each alert associated with a chart can have a different type, destination, and a rule that triggers it. LogRocket supports four types of alerts:

1. Email alerts

Email alerts will send a message to an email address when an alert is triggered or resolved. You can use these alerts to notify a single user, or a distribution list within your organization. Emails are sent from [email protected].

2. PagerDuty alerts

LogRocket’s metric alerts can be used to trigger and resolve incidents in PagerDuty.

For full details, view the PagerDuty integration page and follow the in-app instructions. You will need to enable this via the Integrations page before the option appears within the Metrics alerts.

3. Slack alerts

The Slack alert type will deliver a rich message to Slack. Configure an incoming webhook integration in Slack, and paste that URL generated for that integration into the alert’s target URL.

4. Webhook alerts

Webhook alerts allow you to deliver an information payload to an arbitrary URL when an alert is triggered or resolved. The webhook payload contains the following fields:
