# Data Usage

This Alert will be triggered when your SIM card will use up your set amount of data in MB. This example shows Alert configuration that will be triggered when 20MB of data is used.

1\.      Login to the Monogoto portal and go to **Alerts*****.***

2\.      Press on button **Add New Alert.**

3\.      Configure the Alert.

* Enable Alert by pressing on button Active (green = enabled)
* Enter a name for the Alert
* Enter a description for the Alert
* Choose **Trigger** Metric **Data**
* Choose **Trigger** Operation **>** (more than symbol)
* Enter **Trigger** Value **20**
* Select **Actions**. In this case we will use **Alert Webbook,** so that we are informed about the triggered Alert by this method, but you may use different **Actions,** based on your individual needs.
* Select **Severity** 
* Select **Thing Groups**
* Select Alert type **Override** or **Multiple**. We advise to use **Override**, because having **Multiple** notifications of the same Alert can get messy in the portal.

{% hint style="info" %}
Kindly note that you may apply this Alert not necessary to Thing Groups, you can use Tags instead. So that this Alert will apply to Things that have selected Tag
