About Notification Channels

Notification channels deliver alerts from check rules and synthetic checks to your team through messaging platforms, incident management systems, and email.

Configuring Channels

Channels can be configured through the UI or managed as infrastructure as code using the Dash0 Operator for Kubernetes, the Dash0 Terraform Provider, or the Dash0 CLI.

For details, see Set Up Notification Channels.

Routing Alerts

Direct alerts to the right channels using two approaches:

• Direct assignment - Assign channels to specific check rules.
• Label-based routing - Configure channels to automatically receive alerts based on label matching (team, service, severity).

For details, see Route Check Rule Notifications.
