Alerts#

Alerts are sent when monitor status changes:

• Down when checks fail
• Recovery when checks return healthy

How Alert Dispatch Works#

1. Monitor check updates status.
2. Incident service classifies transition (down, recovery, still_down).
3. Alert service sends messages to eligible channels.

still_down transitions do not send duplicate alerts.

Routing Controls#

Per monitor-channel relationship supports:

• notify_on_down
• notify_on_recovery
• retry_threshold (minimum consecutive failures before down alert)
