Alerting
Dash0 Checks offer crucial insights into your resources like infrastructure and services, empowering proactive detection and swift response to performance issues and outages. By setting up checks to monitor key metrics and thresholds, organizations can receive instant alerts, allowing them to address issues before they affect customers or disrupt operations.
Easily keep track of critical changes by checking metrics, logs, and RED Metrics based on tracing telemetry. With Dash0 Checks, you can:
- Streamline monitoring and response workflows
- Improve operational efficiency
- Maximize system performance
Get started
The fastest way to start with Dash0 Checks is using the query builder and notify on the RED metrics of your services - for advanced use cases you can explore the Check rule templates, a collection of community prometheus alerts.
Dash0 is 100% PromQL compatible - if you have existing alerts based on PromQL queries you can easily import them without modification.
Provide context
Setup your notifications and embed relevant context from the underlying telemetry to provide troubleshooting guidance in the summary and description. We are following the prometheus alertmanager guidelines - for technical routing of your notifications you can set up labels - they are intended to be more compact and consistent. And for human readable metadata you can add annotations - that will help your team to respond to the alert faster.
