This guide covers permissions, management, and delivery configuration for alerts. To create alerts, refer to Monitors or Platform Notifications.
Go to Alerts ↗To create an alert, you need one of the following:
- Super Administrator or Administrator role in the dashboard
- Account edit role (allows creating any alert type)
- An API token with the Notifications Read/Write permission
Some alert types are only available on Professional, Business, or Enterprise plans, or require a specific Cloudflare product.
Once created, each alert has an action menu (⋯) with the following options:
- Edit: modify the alert name, delivery destinations, or configuration.
- Disable / Enable: toggle the alert on or off.
- Test: send a test alert with sample data to verify delivery.
- Mute: temporarily suppress the alert for a preset duration (1h, 12h, 24h) or a custom time range. Muted alerts still appear in Alert history and are marked as silenced.
- Delete: permanently remove the alert.
Destinations define where your alerts are delivered. You can manage all destinations from Alerts > Destinations.
You can view, edit, or delete existing silences from Alerts > Silences.
