To define an alert policy that expresses a set of conditions you want to track or monitor, first, you must create an alert method.

Configuration

For the purpose of SLOcademy, we'll show you how to configure Slack as an alert method.

Follow these steps to create an alert method in the Nobl9 UI:

1. Go to Integrations > Alert Methods.
2. Click .
3. Select Slack as an alert method.
4. Enter the URL.
   This is your Incoming Webhook URL. It must start with https://hooks.slack.com/.

Each alert method integration has its specific authentication requirements. Follow the guidelines described in the in-app help panels in the Nobl9 UI or refer to the documentation.



5. Select a Project.
   Specifying a project is helpful when multiple users are spread across multiple teams or projects. When the Project field is left blank, Nobl9 uses the default project.
6. Enter a Display Name.
   You can enter a user-friendly name with spaces in this field.
7. Enter a Name.
   The name is mandatory and can only contain lowercase, alphanumeric characters, and dashes (for example, my-project-1). Nobl9 duplicates the display name here, transforming it into the supported format, but you can edit the result.
8. Enter a Description.
   Here you can add details such as who is responsible for the integration (team/owner) and the purpose of creating it.
9. Click Add alert method.

You can test your alert methods for all notification services supported by the Nobl9 platform through the UI. On the Details screen, click Test in the upper-left corner.
