Smart Alerting
Set up cost alerts that detect anomalies, budget breaches, and wasteful patterns before they impact your cloud bill.
How it Works
Three steps from setup to savings
Define
Set budget thresholds and anomaly rules at any scope (cluster, namespace, team, or individual workload) in minutes.
Detect
Kubeadapt monitors spending in real time and fires alerts within minutes of a threshold breach or anomalous pattern.
Route
Alerts are delivered to your team via Slack, email, or custom webhooks based on severity and configured routing rules.
What's Included
Proactive Cost Anomaly Detection
Guided Alert Rule Configuration
Create alert rules through a 6-step wizard that walks you through scope selection, entity targeting, alert types, budget thresholds, delivery channels, and final review.
- Step-by-step wizard prevents misconfigured alerts and ensures complete rule coverage
- Choose from 5 scope levels: organization, cluster, department, team, or namespace
Multi-Scope Targeting
Target alerts at any level of your organization hierarchy. Monitor costs across your entire organization, specific clusters, teams, or individual namespaces.
- Color-coded scope badges make it easy to identify alert coverage at a glance
- Hierarchical scoping means team-level alerts automatically cover all namespaces within that team
Alert History and Status Tracking
Full audit trail of every alert that fired. Filter by severity, delivery status, and time range. Know exactly what was sent, when, and whether it was delivered successfully.
- Severity-coded alerts: critical (red), warning (amber), info (blue) for quick triage
- Delivery status tracking shows sent, failed, and permanently failed alerts for reliability monitoring
Multi-Channel Delivery
Route alerts to the channels your team already uses. Send to Slack, email, or custom webhooks. Each alert rule supports up to 5 delivery channels simultaneously.
- Slack integration with channel selection, Email with customizable recipients, Webhook with payload formatting
- Up to 5 channels per rule ensures the right people always get notified
Cost Threshold Alerts
Set cost thresholds at any scope level and get alerted when spending approaches or exceeds your limits. Configurable warning and critical thresholds keep you ahead of cost overruns.
- Visual cost utilization bar with warning (80%) and critical (100%) threshold markers
- Separate cost threshold tracking per organization, cluster, team, or namespace scope
Alert Detail View
Click into any past alert to see the full context: what triggered it, when, which scope was affected, delivery channel status, and the exact cost data that caused the alert.
- Side-sheet detail panel with alert timing, scope, delivery status, and cost breakdown
- Full delivery audit log showing exactly when and where each notification was sent
