UI¶
Access apps from the Observe main page¶
Access all of your app content as soon as you log in to Observe. From Apps click Open app to view an app’s main board, or View content to see its datasets. If you’ve hidden the Getting Started pane, view those videos and links in the Help tab at the bottom of the left rail.
Metric alerting¶
Streamline alerting on metrics with the Metric expression builder. Instead of starting from a dataset or worksheet, create a new metric monitor directly from the Monitors page. Clicking New Monitor prompts you to select a type of monitor and then brings you to the expression builder.

Choose a metric, set your desired alert conditions, and configure notifications on one page:

For more about monitors and the expression builder, see Introduction to Monitors and Alerts.
