Set up alerts

Attach an alert to a Load Balancer to be warned about its traffic, errors, and health. When the alert fires, the monitoring integrations set on it get email, Slack, or webhook messages.

Before you begin

• A Load Balancer in the Running state. An alert attaches only while the Load Balancer is running.
• An alert made for the Load Balancer resource type, in the same project and region as the Load Balancer. To make one, see Create an alert.
• The read permission on the Load Balancer service to open the tab. See TIR Access Control.

Attach an alert

1. In the side menu, under Compute, select Load Balancer, then select the Load Balancer’s name.
2. Select the Alerts tab. Here you attach alerts you have already created to this Load Balancer.
3. Attach the alert you want. Each alert can be attached to a Load Balancer only once.

For the fields of the attach step and the list of alerts on the tab, see Attach an alert to a resource.

To see the figures an alert watches, read Monitor a Load Balancer. Deleting a Load Balancer also tries to remove the alerts attached to it; see Delete a Load Balancer. For help, see Troubleshooting TIR Load Balancer.
