# Resiliency alerts

PerfectScale provides a flexible, impact-driven issue prioritization, allowing you to configure alerting tailored to your needs. Resilience Alerts are designed to notify users of potential risks that could impact workload stability and availability, inform them about issues such as resource constraints, misconfigurations, scaling limitations, etc., and help teams proactively address risks and maintain optimal cluster performance. Learn more about resiliency indicators [here](https://app.gitbook.com/o/nm9j21i0V5wdxMTftXMN/s/ABMqnYtsOO44JmQTVSnn/~/changes/432/visibility-and-optimization/podfit-or-vertical-pod-right-sizing/understanding-at-risk-indicators).

**How to configure resilience alerts**

By default, PerfectScale generates alerts for every cluster where a [resilience indicator](https://app.gitbook.com/o/nm9j21i0V5wdxMTftXMN/s/ABMqnYtsOO44JmQTVSnn/~/changes/432/visibility-and-optimization/podfit-or-vertical-pod-right-sizing/understanding-at-risk-indicators) with a [min\_risk\_level: high](https://app.gitbook.com/o/nm9j21i0V5wdxMTftXMN/s/ABMqnYtsOO44JmQTVSnn/~/changes/432/customize-workflow/alerting/resiliency-alerts#customize-the-alerts-by) was identified. To start receiving resilience alerts, create a dedicated profile and link it to the target cluster. Check the following [instructions](https://app.gitbook.com/o/nm9j21i0V5wdxMTftXMN/s/ABMqnYtsOO44JmQTVSnn/~/changes/432/customize-workflow/alerting/resiliency-alerts) to complete the setup.

**Resilience alerts dashboard**

Clicking on a specific alert opens the alert investigation window, providing deeper insights for further analysis.
