View metrics and configure alert rules
After a workflow runs, you can view its metrics and configure alert rules to monitor workflow status from the CloudFlow console or the Cloud Monitor console. For example, you can send alerts when the number of failed executions reaches a specified threshold.

The Threshold and Alert Level section has three levels: Critical (notifications sent via phone, SMS, email, and WebHook), Warning (notifications sent via SMS, email, and WebHook), and Info (notifications sent via email and WebHook). For each level, you can set the number of consecutive periods and the threshold condition, such as value ≥ 30 ms for 3 consecutive periods.Review your settings and click OK.
After the alert rule is configured, CloudMonitor sends a notification to the specified alert contacts when the trigger condition is met.
