Create and manage alert policies

You can quickly identify and resolve issues in KakaoCloud services through alerts. Alert policies can be configured based on four main condition types: metrics, logs, events, and Advanced Managed Prometheus. Alert policies can be set per service, with alert conditions based on metrics, logs, events, rule files, and other conditions. Alerts are sent to the designated notification channel when the configured conditions are met. For more details on alert condition types and supported services, refer to Alert policies.
