Get KPI alerts with Monitor

Monitor is an Explore alert subscription service that sends email notifications and in-app notifications about changes in KPIs. Follow these steps to configure Monitor:

1. There are two ways to start creating an alert:
   1. Open a Liveboard, then select Create alert for any KPI Answer.
   2. Open an Answer, then select More > Create alert.
2. Choose an alert type. Each type belongs to one of these categories:
   • Anomaly: Get an alert when data is outside of a predicted value range. Predictions are made by ML models trained on the data. You specify when and how often Explore checks for an anomaly. If there's a temporary anomaly outside of the time you specify, you won't get an alert.
   • Threshold: Get an alert when the data crosses a set limit. You specify when and how often Explore checks the data. If it temporarily reaches the threshold outside of the time you specify, you won't get an alert.
   • Schedule: Get regular updates about the KPI data on a schedule.
3. Set the alert details, such as the name, conditions, and time.
4. Add subscribers (individual users or groups) for your alert.
5. (Optional) Add a custom message to be sent with the alert.
6. View the KPI query for the alert.
7. Select Create alert.
