Parseable offers realtime alerting based on contents of incoming events. Each dataset can have several alerts and each alert is evaluated independently.

2. Click on "Create Alert" to set up a new alert
3. Set the "Preview", it could be either chart or table for 10m, 1h, 5h 1d or any custom timerange.

Configure Alert Rules

Configure the alert rules for all alert types:

• Dataset: Select the log dataset or dataset you want to monitor
• Monitor: Choose the specific field to track (e.g., response_time, error_count, status_code)
• Filter (Optional): Add conditions to narrow down the data (e.g., status = 500, environment = production)
• Group By (Optional): Group results by specific fields for more granular alerting (e.g., group by service_name or region)

Configure Targets

Targets are the destinations where notifications are sent when an alert is triggered. Parseable supports Webhook, Slack, and Alertmanager targets.

The list of configured targets can be seen under Settings > Alert Targets.

• Severity: Select the appropriate level: Low, Medium, High, or Critical
• Tags (Optional): Add tags to categorize your alerts

Click "Save" to create your alert.
