What are the different Alert Types?

Overview

Alerts are an essential part of any monitoring system. They notify users when an event or issue occurs in their infrastructure that requires attention. Motadata AIOps offers a variety of alert types to help users stay on top of their infrastructure's health and performance. These alerts can be configured through policies, which define the conditions for triggering alerts, the actions to take when an alert is raised, and the teams to notify.

The policies can be categorized into two major categories:

• Basic Policies

  • Availability Policy
  • Metric Policy
  • Log Policy
  • Flow Policy

• AIOps Policies

  • Forecast Policy
  • Anomaly Policy

There are two types of policies available in Motadata AIOps - Basic Policies and AIOps Policies. Basic Policies include Availability, Metric, Log, and Flow Policies, while AIOps Policies include Forecast and Anomaly Policies.

Availability Policies are used to monitor the availability of various entities in your infrastructure, such as servers, applications, and services. Metric Policies are used to monitor performance metrics, such as CPU usage, memory usage, and disk space. Log Policies are used to monitor logs generated by various applications and systems, while Flow Policies are used to monitor network flows.

AIOps Policies, on the other hand, are advanced policies that leverage machine learning algorithms to detect anomalies and patterns in your infrastructure's data. Forecast Policies predict future trends and patterns in your data while Anomaly Policies detect anomalies in your data using various statistical methods.

Overall, the variety of alert types available in Motadata AIOps ensures that users can configure policies that suit their unique monitoring needs, and stay on top of their infrastructure's health and performance.

Let us understand how to create all the policies for each category in the next sections.
