Every node comes with hundreds of pre-configured alerts that have been +tested by Netdata's community of DevOps engineers and SREs, but you may want to customize existing alerts or create new +ones entirely. + +Read our doc on [health alerts](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/monitor/configure-alarms.md) to +learn how to tweak existing alerts or create new +health entities based on the specific needs of your infrastructure. By taking charge of alert configuration, you'll +ensure Netdata Cloud always delivers the most relevant alerts about the well-being of your nodes. + +## View all active alerts + +The [Alerts Smartboard](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/alerts-notifications/smartboard.mdx) +provides a high-level interface for viewing the number of critical or warning alerts and where they are in your +infrastructure. + + + +Click on the **Alerts** tab in any War Room to open the Smartboard. Alternatively, click on any of the alert badges in +the [Nodes view](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/visualize/nodes.md) to jump to the Alerts +Smartboard. + +From here, filter active alerts using the **critical** or **warning** boxes, or hover over a box in +the [nodes map](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/alerts-notifications/smartboard.mdx#nodes-map) +to see a +popup node-specific alert information. + +## View alerts in context with charts + +If you click on any of the alerts, either in a nodes map popup or the alerts table, Netdata Cloud navigates you to the +single-node dashboard and scrolls to the relevant chart. Netdata Cloud also draws a highlight and the value at the +moment your node triggered this alert. + + + +You can +then [select this area](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/dashboard/interact-charts.mdx#select) +with `Alt/⌘ + mouse selection` to highlight the alerted timeframe while you explore other charts for root cause +analysis. + +Or, select the area and +run [Metric Correlations](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/insights/metric-correlations.md) to +filter the single-node +dashboard to only those charts most likely to be connected to the alert. + +## What's next? + +Learn more about the features of the Smartboard in +its [reference](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/alerts-notifications/smartboard.mdx) +doc.
