# Introduction
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To get started, you first need some alert rules which will react to
|
|
|
|
|
changes with your devices before raising an alert.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[Creating alert rules](Rules.md)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After that you also need to tell LibreNMS how to notify you when an
|
|
|
|
|
alert is raised, this is done using `Alert Transports`.

|
|
|

|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The next step is not strictly required but most people find it
|
|
|
|
|
useful. Creating custom alert templates will help you get the benefit
|
|
|
|
|
out of the alert system in general. Whilst we include a default
|
|
|
|
|
template, it is limited in the data that you will receive in the alerts.

|
## Managing alerts
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When an alert has triggered you will see these in the Alerts ->
|
|
|
|
|
Notifications page within the Web UI.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This list has a couple of options available to it and we'll explain
|
|
|
|
|
what these are here.
