PerfectScale delivers timely and reliable alerts to keep you informed about unusual system activity and detected anomalies. These alerts are specifically designed to highlight changes in key indicators, enabling you to take quick action to address potential issues before they impact your system's efficiency, performance, or stability.
PerfectScale allows you to easily set up resiliency and financial alerts and manage them efficiently by configuring the corresponding alert profile:
This panel provides a summarized view of alerts across the account, showing the total number of active alerts along with a breakdown by category, including resilience, cost, and waste alerts.
This panel delivers a granular breakdown of alerts, including their status, trigger details (time and location), and whether they have been acknowledged.
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.

Workload-level alerts are designed to trigger alerts based on a workload's specific state. Unlike standard alerts, which depend on particular conditions within a container, workload-level alerts are triggered by changes in specific workload indicators. This feature enhances alerting capabilities and introduces new types of alerts, allowing for more comprehensive monitoring and response to resiliency risks identified before they impact users.
To improve visibility and highlight only relevant issues, PerfectScale uses the following algorithm to deactivate or delete irrelevant Alerts.
PerfectScales checks the last seen date of the Alert. If the last seen > 3 days, the Alert will be considered inactive, and its marker will be changed to grey.
With the same scenario mentioned earlier, PerfectScales checks the last seen date of the Alert. If the last seen > 29 days, the Alert will be deleted.
Use the switcher to effortlessly toggle between the and the financial alerts dashboards, ensuring you have quick access to both tools.
