Traffic alerts
Go to a server's Alerts tab. A traffic alert tells you when a server's traffic reaches a percentage of what its contract includes, so you hear about it before you go over rather than on the invoice.
Add one alert per warning you want — for example one at 80% and one at 95%. Each fires once per billing period.
Creating an alert
The alerts table
Alert at
The percentage that triggers the alert.
Notify by
Email, Support ticket, or Email and support ticket.
Goes to
The address the notification reaches.
Last triggered
When it last fired. Not this period means it hasn't fired since the current billing period began — not that it has never fired.
Created
When the alert was set up.
The ⋮ menu on each row edits or deletes the alert.
Who gets notified
Alerts go to the contact on the billing account this server belongs to — not to whoever created the alert. The address is named in the dialog when you set the alert up, alongside its K-number.
What the percentage is measured against
The threshold is a plain percentage of what your contract includes. Depending on your contract that resolves against a monthly volume or a committed rate — the alert itself doesn't take a view, it just compares against whichever applies to this server.
