# Location Request

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 **General Event**
* Choose **Trigger** Operation **contains**
* Enter **Trigger** Value ***HSS GET\_LOCATION request***
* Select **Actions**. In this case we will use **Alert Webbook** and **Send SMS to Thing** so that we are informed about the triggered Alert by these methods, 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
