# Alerting Overview

> Monitor your deployments and get notified when performance thresholds are breached

Simplismart Alerting lets you define conditions on your deployment metrics and route notifications to your team when those conditions are met. It is powered by Grafana alerting under the hood, with a managed setup so you don't need to configure Grafana directly.

There are two building blocks:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Alert Rules" href="/observability/alerting/alert-rules">
    Define what triggers a notification: choose a preset condition, set thresholds, attach a deployment, and link to one or more contact points.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Contact Points" href="/observability/alerting/contact-points">
    Define where notifications are sent: email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or VictorOps. Each contact point can hold multiple integrations.
