Configure the notification message and save

When your alert fires, the notification includes a Summary and a Description. In this milestone, you complete both, then save the rule.

  1. Confirm the rule name is QuickPizza server errors. If the QuickPizza install refreshed the form, enter it again.

  2. In the Summary field, add this notification:

    QuickPizza returned {{ $value }} server errors in the last 5 minutes

    When the alert fires, {{ $value }} is replaced with the live query result.

  3. In the Description field, add this text:

    Fires when the 5-minute rate of QuickPizza HTTP 5xx responses stays above the threshold. Check the app dashboard and recent deploys first.

    Use the description to explain what the alert watches and where to start looking.

  4. Confirm the rule has a name, metric query, and contact point. Fix validation errors, then click Save.

Your alert rule is saved. If its contact point has a working destination, notifications can be delivered when the condition holds past the pending period. The empty contact point does not send notifications.
