# Alerts

The Monogoto platform provides an alerts engine with a set of trigger conditions and actions that can be applied to one or more Things Groups.

An alert defines a specific metric that is monitored continuously by the system (e.g. data consumption, SMS usage, network availability etc.). When a Thing matches the defined alert, this triggers a set of predefined automatic actions.
