​Alerts Management

Monitor your hosts and endpoints and get notified on Slack, Discord, Telegram, Email, or Webhook when something needs your attention.

Overview

Alerts Management lets you create automated alerts triggered by specific conditions on your hosts and endpoints. When a threshold is crossed, Proxidize notifies you through whichever platform you've configured.

⚠️ Available on: Business plan only

Available alert types:

  • Host CPU Usage
  • Host RAM Usage
  • Host Data Usage
  • Host Down
  • Endpoint Status

Supported delivery platforms:

You can find Alerts Management in the left sidebar of your Cloud Dashboard.

Creating an Alert

Regardless of which platform you use, all alerts are created the same way:

  1. Go to Alerts Management in the sidebar
  2. Click New Alert
  3. Fill in the alert details:
    • Name: a label to identify this alert
    • Host: the host to monitor
    • Type: the condition to trigger on (CPU, RAM, Data Usage, Host Down, Endpoint Status)
    • Receive On: the platform to deliver the alert to
    • Threshold / Limit: the value at which the alert fires (where applicable)

  4. Click Confirm

Once created, the alert appears in the table with its name, host, type, and current status. You can pause or delete any alert from this table at any time.

 

💡 Note: Each platform requires a one-time setup before you can select it when creating an alert. See the relevant section below.

Email

To receive alerts by email, the destination address must be added as a sub-account under your main Proxidize account first.

  1. Add the email address as a sub-account
  2. Once added, go to Alerts Management and create a new alert
  3. Select Email as the delivery platform, your sub-account emails will appear in the dropdown
  4. Select the address you want to receive the alert and confirm

Webhook

Webhook alerts send an HTTP request to a URL of your choice whenever an alert is triggered, useful for integrating with custom systems or automation pipelines.

When creating an alert and selecting Webhook as the platform, you'll be prompted for:

  • URL: the endpoint to send the request to
  • Method: GET or POST

No external setup is required beyond having a URL ready to receive the request.
