Create a folder and add labels that control routing.

Create a folder and add labels

You’ll organize your alert into a folder and add labels that control how notifications get routed.

Folders organize alerts by team, service, or purpose, and control who can manage them.

In this milestone, you create a folder, then add rule-level labels.

  1. Click New folder, name it QuickPizza alerts, then click Create.

Grafana selects the new folder after it creates it. Confirm that QuickPizza alerts appears in the Folder field, then add labels.

  1. Click Add labels, set severity to critical, then click Save to route the alert.

  2. Confirm that severity=critical appears on the alert rule.

Your alert now has a folder and a label. Next, you set how often the rule evaluates and how long the condition must last before the alert fires.
