Introduction

Alert Definitions are the foundation of proactive IT monitoring and incident management. They determine what conditions should generate alerts, when they should trigger, and how they should be handled across your infrastructure and applications.

OpsRamp provides multiple ways to define alerts based on operational needs:

• Metric-Based Alert Definitions – Trigger alerts based on performance or utilization metrics (CPU, memory, latency, etc.).
• Budget-Based Alert Definitions – Monitor and alert on cloud spend or cost thresholds.
• Template-Based Alert Definitions – Apply predefined alert logic across multiple resources for consistent monitoring.
