Alerting is an Enterprise feature. Please contact us to discuss getting access.

Overview​

Our alerting solution will enable you to react to Kafka infrastructure and application irregularties. Currently, we integrate with Slack and MS Teams so that you can receive real-time notifications.

If you require an additional integration, please let us know so we can consider it.
