Create Alerts and Alarms
Before you begin:
- Retrieve VM built-in metrics, by editing VMs and enabling monitoring (see VM monitoring and metrics) or create custom metrics
- Optionally create metric alarms (see Manage cloud alarms and Infrastructure Alarms)
To create an alert:
- Go to Control → Alerts
- Click the + add button
- Enter the alert details
Select an existing alarm, or create a new alarm, and assign it to the alert. Repeat for the required alarms

From the Control view you can monitor, control, and scale groups of VMs in the virtual data center, using alerts with notifications, action plans for automation, and auto-scaling on the hybrid cloud platform.
From Control view you can also manage tags for resource inventories, as well as multicloud budgets, to implement your FinOps system.
