# Event and Usage Alerts

> Get email, Slack or Discord messages about team events and server usage.

Alerts belong to the selected team. The owner, or a member with the alert permissions, can manage them. Open "Teams" and choose "Event Alerts" or "Usage Alerts".

| Alert | Sends a message when |
| - | - |
| Event | One of the events you select happens in the team. |
| Usage | A server stays above your threshold for the time you set. |

## Create an alert

**1. Start a new alert**

Open the matching page and click `Create alert`.

**2. Choose where messages go**

Name the alert. Pick email recipients, or choose Slack or Discord and enter its webhook URL. Treat webhook URLs as secrets.

**3. Choose what to watch**

For an event alert, tick the events. For a usage alert, choose the metric, threshold and duration, then all servers or specific ones.

**4. Save**

Make sure the alert is active and save it. The list shows its status and when it last sent.

Usage thresholds run from 1% to 100%, and durations from 2 to 60 minutes. Alerts only notify you. They don't add resources or stop a server.

## Pause, edit or delete

Use an alert's row menu to edit, pause, resume or delete it, or select several alerts for bulk actions. Pausing keeps the settings and stops messages.
