Setting up classic alerts

info

This documentation only applies to Snowplow BDP. See the feature comparison page for more information about the different Snowplow offerings.

Snowplow can send two types of pipeline alerts to help you monitor failed events:

• New failed event: receive an alert within 10 minutes of a new type of event failure being detected on your pipeline.
• Failed event digest: receive a daily digest of all failed event activity in the previous 48-hour period.

To receive alerts you must have the failed events monitoring feature switched on in Snowplow BDP Console.
