Chart Alerts Guide Chart alerts monitor metrics and logs queries and trigger incidents when conditions are met. They are attached to charts on dashboards or explorations. chartalerthelp has the server's current reference. Two-tier thresholds: a chart alert holds a single value. To reproduce a Datadog warning + critical monitor, create two alerts on the same chart (one per threshold).
