Create an Alert
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 so that you can receive real-time notifications.
If you require an additional integration, please let us know so we can consider it.
Configure Slack
From within Monitoring, navigagte to the Alerts tab. If you have not yet configured the Slack integration, then follow the link to set this up as a pre-requisite.
If you have any issues with this process, please contact us through the chat box at the bottom of your window.
