Monitor your time series data and send alerts by creating checks, notification
rules, and notification endpoints. Or use [community templates to monitor](/influxdb/v2.0/monitor-alert/templates/) supported environments.
## Overview
1. A [check](/influxdb/v2.0/reference/glossary/#check) in InfluxDB queries data and assigns a status with a `_level` based on specific conditions.
2. InfluxDB stores the output of a check in the `statuses` measurement in the `_monitoring` system bucket.
3. [Notification rules](/influxdb/v2.0/reference/glossary/#notification-rule) check data in the `statuses`
measurement and, based on conditions set in the notification rule, send a message
to a [notification endpoint](/influxdb/v2.0/reference/glossary/#notification-endpoint).
4. InfluxDB stores notifications in the `notifications` measurement in the `_monitoring` system bucket.
## Create an alert
To get started, do the following:
1. [Create checks](/influxdb/v2.0/monitor-alert/checks/create/) to monitor data and assign a status.
2. [Add notification endpoints](/influxdb/v2.0/monitor-alert/notification-endpoints/create/)
to send notifications to third parties.
3. [Create notification rules](/influxdb/v2.0/monitor-alert/notification-rules/create) to check
statuses and send notifications to your notifications endpoints.
