Select a folder to organize your rule, then add a severity label.

Estimated time: 1 min

Create a folder and add labels

You’ll organize your alert into a folder and add labels so the rule is easy to find and filter later. Labels can also feed notification policies when you set those up.

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

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

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

You’ve created a folder for the rule. Next, add labels.

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

  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.
