Monitoring Data

I created the monitors for my_metric through the Datadog UI

1. In the Datadog UI go to Monitors > New Monitor > select my_metric from the “Define The Metric” category

2. Set the Alert Threshold of 800, the Warning Threshold of 500, and a notification email to be sent whenever data is msising for more than 10 minutes.

3. Set up email notifications depending on the Alert
