Alerts¶
Clicking on the ‘Alerts’ tab on Atlas landing page, you can view all the alerts created by you. By default, the list is sorted in reverse chronological order. You can reorder the list by clicking the column headings.
The list contains the Name, targeted Query, Created By, Created at, Last Updated information. State shows whether the alert status is TRIGGERED, OK, or UNKNOWN.
TRIGGEREDmeans that on the most recent execution, the Value column in your target query met the Condition and Threshold you configured. If your alert checks whether ordered_amt is above 1500, your alert will be triggered as long as ordered_amt is above 1500 for the selected brand.OKmeans that on the most recent query execution, the Value column did not meet the Condition and Threshold you configured. This doesn’t mean that the Alert was not previously triggered. If your ordered_amt value is now 1470, your alert will show asOK.UNKNOWNmeans SQL does not have enough data to evaluate the alert criteria. You will see this status immediately after creating your Alert and until the query has been executed. You will also see this status if there is no data in the query result or if the most recent query result doesn’t include the Value Column you configured.
Create an Alert¶
An Alert can be added via the Queries section. The top right side menu shows 'Alerts[0]'; clicking on that will open a panel that shows alerts created by you. It gives you the option to add a new alert.

Edit an Alert¶
