Overview

1. A check in InfluxDB queries data and assigns a status with a _level based on specific conditions.
2. InfluxDB stores the output of a check in the statuses measurement in the _monitoring system bucket.
3. Notification rules check data in the statuses measurement and, based on conditions set in the notification rule, send a message to a notification endpoint.
4. InfluxDB stores notifications in the notifications measurement in the _monitoring system bucket.

Create an alert

To get started, do the following:

1. Create checks to monitor data and assign a status.
2. Add notification endpoints to send notifications to third parties.
3. Create notification rules to check statuses and send notifications to your notifications endpoints.
