To help you detect and address changing demand for resources, the platform's control features include monitoring alerts with notifications, action plans for automation, and autoscaling.

Basic control and scaling concepts

Create Alerts and Alarms

Before you begin:

1. Retrieve VM built-in metrics, by editing VMs and enabling monitoring (see VM monitoring and metrics) or create custom metrics
2. Optionally create metric alarms (see Manage cloud alarms and Infrastructure Alarms)

To create an alert:

1. Go to Control → Alerts
   Image Removed
2. Click the + add button
3. Enter the alert details

4. Select an existing alarm, or create a new alarm, and assign it to the alert. Repeat for the required alarms

5. Click Save

If all alarms are activated, the alert will be activated. You can use the alert to trigger actions. See Manage Action Plans.

Remove alarms from alerts

To remove an alarm from an alert:

1. Click the delete button, and confirm
   The platform will remove it from this alert, but it will remain in all other alerts that it is associated with

To delete alarms, go to Cloud --> Alarms; see Manage cloud alarms

The pages in the Control view section describe how you can use alerts with notifications from alarms across the platform, and action plans for automation of VMs, including vertical and horizontal auto-scaling.

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.
