Resolve Alerts¶

Atlas issues alerts for the database and server conditions configured in your alert settings. When a condition triggers an alert, Atlas displays a warning symbol on the cluster and sends alert notifications. Your alert settings determine the notification methods. Atlas continues sending notifications at regular intervals until the condition resolves or you delete or disable the alert.

View Alerts¶

To view all open alerts:

1

Navigate to the Alerts page for your organization.¶

If it is not already displayed, select your desired organization from the Organizations menu in the navigation bar.
Click Alerts in the sidebar.

2

If it is not already displayed, click the Open Alerts tab.¶

Acknowledge Alerts¶

To acknowledge alerts:

1

Navigate to the Alerts page for your organization.¶

If it is not already displayed, select your desired organization from the Organizations menu in the navigation bar.

If an alert uses PagerDuty for alert notifications, you can acknowledge the alert only on your PagerDuty dashboard.

When you acknowledge an alert, Atlas sends no further notifications until either the acknowledgement period ends, you resolve the alert condition, or you unacknowledge alert. If an alert condition ends during an acknowledgment period, Atlas sends a notification.

To resolve an alert by increasing your cluster's capacity, see Modify a Cluster.
