Setting up classic alerts

Snowplow can send two types of pipeline alerts to help you monitor failed events:

• New failed event: receive an alert within 10 minutes of a new type of event failure being detected on your pipeline.
• Failed event digest: receive a daily digest of all failed event activity in the previous 48-hour period.

To receive alerts you must have the failed events monitoring feature switched on in Snowplow Console.
