Iris can write alert rules from one sentence. Who gets woken up by them is not something it should guess from that sentence.
Generate with Iris on the Alerts page now ends in a review step. Iris drafts the rules: the metric, the threshold, the window and the endpoint. You choose which ones to keep and who gets them, then create them yourself. Nothing is saved before you do. Above is the review for the two alerts Maya asked for, with Jonas, a member of Acme Labs, picked to get them.
What changed
- Review before create. Iris drafts the rules. You untick the ones you don't want, add who gets them, and click Create. Cancel creates nothing.
- You pick the recipients. Iris never chooses where an alert goes: the review's channel list starts empty, and at least one recipient is needed.
- Members only, by email. An email recipient must be the verified address of a member of your account, whether the alert comes from the dashboard, the API, MCP or Iris. Webhook, Slack and Discord channels work as before.
- Older addresses are flagged. An address saved earlier keeps getting alerts. Replace it to edit or test the alert; turning the alert off or deleting it still works.
Get started
- In the dashboard, go to Observability → Alerts and click Generate with Iris.
- Describe the alerts you want and click Generate.
- In Review the alerts, untick any you don't want, add who gets them under Notification Channels, and click Create.
- Read the docs: Threshold alerts and Metric alerts from plain English.
