# Default alert rules from integrations

Dashboards show what is happening. Alert rules tell you when something needs attention.

Most integrations come with default alert rules based on common failure conditions. You get useful alerting without writing rules yourself.

## Find your alert rules

Locate the rules an integration created in three steps:

1. Open **Alerting** and find the integration’s alert rule namespace. Each integration’s rules are grouped under their own namespace.
2. Open a rule to see its condition. Thresholds are described on that integration’s reference page.

## Notifications are a separate step

Default rules define *when* something is wrong, not *who* gets told. To receive notifications, set up contact points and notification policies in **Alerts & IRM**. That setup isn’t included with the integration. To learn how, refer to the [Grafana Alerting documentation](/docs/grafana-cloud/alerting-and-irm/alerting/).

## See what each integration includes

Each integration has a page in the [integration reference documentation](/docs/grafana-cloud/observe-and-act/monitor-infrastructure/integrations/integration-reference/) that lists the dashboards and alerts it provides. Check there to know what to expect before and after you install.
