title: Create custom checks
seotitle: Custom checks
description: >
Create custom checks with a Flux task.
menu:
influxdb_2_0:
parent: Monitor & alert
weight: 201
v2.0/tags: [alerts, checks, tasks, Flux]
---
In the UI, you can create two kinds of [checks](/influxdb/v2.0/reference/glossary/#check):
[`threshold`](/influxdb/v2.0/monitor-alert/checks/create/#threshold-check) and
[`deadman`](/influxdb/v2.0/monitor-alert/checks/create/#deadman-check).
Using a Flux task, you can create a custom check that provides a couple advantages:
- Customize and transform the data you would like to use for the check.
- Set up custom criteria for your alert (other than `threshold` and `deadman`).
## Create a task
1. In the InfluxDB UI, select **Tasks** in the navigation menu on the left.
{{< nav-icon "tasks" >}}
2. Click **{{< icon "plus" >}} Create Task**, and then select **New Task**.
3. In the **Name** field, enter a descriptive name,
and then enter how often to run the task in the **Every** field (for example, `10m`).
For more detail, such as using cron syntax or including an offset, see [Task configuration options](/influxdb/v2.0/process-data/task-options/).
4. Enter the Flux script for your custom check, including the [`monitor.check`](/influxdb/v2.0/reference/flux/stdlib/monitor/check/) function.
{{% note %}}
Use the the API endpoint `/checks/{checkID}/query` to see the Flux code for a check built in the UI.
This can be useful for constructing custom checks.

### Example: Monitor failed tasks
The script below is fairly complex, and can be used as a framework for similar tasks.
It does the following:
- Import the necessary `influxdata/influxdb/monitor` package, and other packages for data processing.
- Query the `_tasks` bucket to retrieve all statuses generated by your check.
- Set the `_level` to alert on, for example, `crit`, `warn`, `info`, or `ok`.
- Create a `check` object that specifies an ID, name, and type for the check.
- Define the `ok` and `crit` statuses.
- Execute the `monitor` function on the `check` using the `task_data`.
#### Example alert task script
```js
import "strings"
import "regexp"
import "influxdata/influxdb/monitor"
import "influxdata/influxdb/v1"
option task = {name: "Failed Tasks Check", every: 1h, offset: 4m}
task_data = from(bucket: "_tasks")
|> range(start: -task.every)
|> filter(fn: (r) =>
(r["_measurement"] == "runs"))
|> filter(fn: (r) =>
(r["_field"] == "logs"))
|> map(fn: (r) => ({ r with name: strings.split(v: regexp.findString(r: /option task = \{([^\}]+)/, v: r._value), t: "\\\\\\\"")[1] }))
|> drop(columns: ["_value", "_start", "_stop"])
|> group(columns: ["name", "taskID", "status", "_measurement"])
|> map(fn: (r) =>
({r with _value: if r.status == "failed" then 1 else 0}))
|> last()
check = {
_check_id: "0000000000000001", // 16 characters, alphanumeric
_check_name: "Failed Tasks Check", // string
_type: "custom", // can also use "threashold" or "deadman"
tags: {},
}
ok = (r) =>
(r["logs"] == 0)
crit = (r) =>
(r["logs"] == 1)
messageFn = (r) =>
("The task: ${r.taskID} - ${r.name} has a status of ${r.status}")
task_data
|> v1["fieldsAsCols"]()
|> monitor["check"](
data: check,
messageFn: messageFn,
ok: ok,
crit: crit,
)
```

Creating a custom check does not send a notification email.

Create an alert when a task fails.

Use a task to receive alerts when a task fails.
## Example alert task script
```js
import "strings"
import "regexp"
import "influxdata/influxdb/monitor"
import "influxdata/influxdb/v1"
option task = {name: "Failed Tasks Check", every: 1h, offset: 4m}
task_data = from(bucket: "_tasks")
|> range(start: -1h, stop: now())
|> filter(fn: (r) =>
(r["_measurement"] == "runs"))
|> filter(fn: (r) =>
(r["_field"] == "logs"))
|> map(fn: (r) => ({ r with name: strings.split(v: regexp.findString(r: /option task = \{([^\}]+)/, v: r._value), t: "\\\\\\\"")[1] }))
|> drop(columns: ["_value", "_start", "_stop"])
|> group(columns: ["name", "taskID", "status", "_measurement"])
|> map(fn: (r) =>
({r with _value: if r.status == "failed" then 1 else 0}))
|> last()
check = {
_check_id: "0000000deadbeef1",
_check_name: "Failed Tasks Check",
_type: "threshold",
tags: {},
}
ok = (r) =>
(r["logs"] == 0)
crit = (r) =>
(r["logs"] == 1)
messageFn = (r) =>
("The task: ${r.taskID} - ${r.name} has a status of ${r.status}")
task_data
|> v1["fieldsAsCols"]()
|> monitor["check"](
data: check,
messageFn: messageFn,
ok: ok,
crit: crit,
)
```
## Add your task
Once your task is ready, see [Create a task](/influxdb/v2.0/process-data/manage-tasks/create-task) for information about adding it to InfluxDB.
