  ### [Introducing Alerts](https://docs.honeyhive.ai/monitoring/alerts)

  Monitor key metrics and get notified when behavior changes in your AI applications.

  <Frame>
    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/honeyhiveai/qmpHooEVX6j-ieIE/images/alert-page.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=qmpHooEVX6j-ieIE&q=85&s=aeae68c6360f2f64b5a4ef396abbb5f7" alt="HoneyHive Alerts" width="3024" height="1566" data-path="images/alert-page.png" />
  </Frame>

  1. **Comprehensive Monitoring:**
     Track performance metrics (latency, error rate), quality scores from evaluators, cost and usage patterns, plus any custom fields from your events or sessions. Get visibility into what matters most for your AI applications.

  2. **Smart Alert Types:**
     **Aggregate Alerts** trigger when metrics cross absolute thresholds, while **Drift Alerts** detect when current performance deviates from previous periods by a configurable percentage. Choose the right detection method for your use case.

  3. **Flexible Scheduling:**
     Configure alerts to run hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly based on your monitoring needs. Set custom evaluation windows to balance responsiveness with noise reduction.

  4. **Streamlined Workflow:**
     Real-time preview charts show exactly what your alert will monitor, guided configuration in the right panel walks you through setup, and a recent activity feed tracks alert history. Manage alert states (Active, Triggered, Resolved, Paused, Muted) directly from each alert's detail page.

  ### Evaluator Templates Gallery

  ### Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

  <Frame>

  </Frame>

  1. **Two-Tier Permission Structure:**
     Granular permission management with organization and project-level controls. Organization Admins have full control across the entire organization, while Project Admins maintain complete control within specific projects. This creates clear boundaries between teams and prevents data leakage between business units.

  2. **Enhanced API Key Security:**
     Project-specific API key scoping ensures that teams can only access data within their designated projects. This provides better security isolation and compliance with industry regulations, especially critical for organizations in financial services, healthcare, and insurance.

  3. **Flexible Team Management:**
     Easy onboarding and role transitions with transparent permission hierarchy. Delegate administrative responsibilities without compromising security, and manage team member access as organizations evolve.

  4. **Seamless Migration Process:**
     Existing customers can migrate to RBAC with minimal disruption. All current users are automatically assigned Organization Admin roles, and project-specific API keys are available in Settings. Legacy API keys will remain functional until August 31st, 2025.
