Overview

Data alerts enable users to create automated messages that are sent in response to an event. In data organizations, accountable users and stakeholders must be informed immediately if there is a data quality issue. 

Some examples of alerts are,

• An alert can be created if the data movement in a table is suspended.
• When there are new tables while crawling a schema, an alert can be created to inform the users of new tables.

Data alerts help users with the following,

• To generate an alert, multiple conditions can be set to be met
• Be notified in-app, or through email. 

It is a common practice for a DBA to generate alerts. Create a query on a specific data table and catalog the query before creating an alert.
