What needs attention
Alerts highlight sustained failures, resource pressure, and overdue backups. A brief spike should not become a flood of notifications. Existing alert contacts and rules are reused.
Freshness matters
A chart can look calm because nothing new is arriving. The portal marks missing or old data explicitly. Check collection health before trusting a quiet graph.
When the portal is down
Cloud-based checks continue to monitor the local endpoint. Use Grafana directly and open the recovery instructions in this wiki.
Complete rule catalog
The public Alert rules page lists configured rules, including healthy and paused rules. It reads actual evaluation intervals from Cloud rule-group metadata; observed groups evaluate every 60 or 300 seconds. Pending duration and lookback are separate fields. Silenced rules remain enabled unless paused. Private expressions require owner diagnostics. Missing evaluation metadata is shown as unknown rather than inferred from query resolution.
