Configure the default alert policy

To alert you to any problems, an email and/or SMS notification can be sent when a check fails and subsequently reports back in.

Use the default alert policy to configure the default alerting behavior for all of your devices for new checks and existing checks.

The following icons are used to represent the alert types:
