# Monitoring & Notifications

Noros keeps you informed about important events and changes in your cloud environment. Access your monitoring settings from the sidebar to configure what alerts you receive and how they're delivered.

### Alert Types

Control which categories of alerts you receive:

* **Critical Alerts** — High-urgency items requiring immediate attention, such as budget thresholds being exceeded or significant cost anomalies
* **Scheduled Digests** — Periodic roll-up summaries of activity delivered on your chosen cadence (daily, weekly, or monthly)
* **Intelligent Notifications** — Agent-curated alerts based on your interests and usage patterns

Each alert type can be toggled on or off independently.

### Alert Sources

Choose which specific alert sources you want to hear about:

* **Budget alerts** — YTD/MTD budget exceeded, custom threshold warnings
* **Cost anomalies** — Unusual cost spikes or drops detected in your accounts
* **Commitment alerts** — Low utilization, expiring reservations
* **Savings opportunities** — Available savings across services

Each source can be individually enabled or disabled, so you can focus on the alerts that matter most to your role.

### Delivery Channels

Configure how you receive notifications:

* **Email** — Alerts delivered to your account email address (toggle on/off)
* **Slack** — Send notifications to your connected Slack workspace (toggle on/off). If Slack isn't connected yet, you can set it up from [Settings > Integrations](/account-management/integrations.md).

In-app notifications are always active — monitoring alerts appear in the sidebar, and transactional notifications appear via the notification bell icon.

### Digest Settings

When Scheduled Digests are enabled, you can configure:

* **Frequency** — Daily, weekly, or monthly
* **Timezone** — Set your preferred timezone for digest delivery timing

### Notification History

The notification panel in the sidebar shows a history of all alerts sent to your account. Use this to review past alerts you may have missed or to revisit important events.

### Managing via Chat

You can also manage your notification preferences by asking Noros:

* "I only care about budget alerts and anomalies"
* "Show me my current notification settings"
* "Send my alerts to Slack"
* "Change my digest to weekly"
