Set alert conditions to determine the circumstances under which you want a test to fail and trigger an alert.
Alerting rule
When you set the alert conditions to: An alert is triggered if any assertion fails for X minutes from any n of N locations, an alert is triggered only if these two conditions are true:
At least one location was in failure (at least one assertion failed) during the last X minutes;
At one moment during the last X minutes, at least n locations were in failure.
Configure the test monitor
A notification is sent by your test based on the alerting conditions previously defined. Use this section to define how and what to message your team.
Similar to how you configure monitors, select users and/or services that should receive notifications either by adding an @notification to the message or by searching for team members and connected integrations with the dropdown menu.
Enter the notification message for your test or use pre-filled monitor messages. This field allows standard Markdown formatting and supports the following conditional variables:
Conditional Variable
Description
{{#is_alert}}
Show when the test alerts.
{{^is_alert}}
Show unless the test alerts.
{{#is_recovery}}
Show when the test recovers from alert.
{{^is_recovery}}
Show unless the test recovers from alert.
{{#is_renotify}}
Show when the monitor renotifies.
{{^is_renotify}}
Show unless the monitor renotifies.
{{#is_priority}}
Show when the monitor matches priority (P1 to P5).
{{^is_priority}}
Show unless the monitor matches priority (P1 to P5).
Notification messages include the message defined in this section and information about the failing locations. Pre-filled monitor messages are included in the message body section:
Specify how often you want your test to re-send the notification message in case of test failure. To prevent renotification on failing tests, check the option Stop re-notifying on X occurrences.
Click Save Test to save your Network Path test configuration and monitor.
