|
|

|
|
|
|
### Alert management
|
|
|
|
Chronograf offers a UI for [Kapacitor](https://github.com/influxdata/kapacitor), InfluxData's data processing framework for creating alerts, running ETL jobs, and detecting anomalies in your data.
|

|
|
* View all active alerts on an alert dashboard
|
|
* Send alerts to the supported event handlers, including Slack, PagerDuty, HipChat, and [more](/chronograf/v1.8/guides/configuring-alert-endpoints/)
|
|
|

### Data visualization
|
|
|
|
* Monitor your application data with Chronograf's [pre-created dashboards](/chronograf/v1.8/guides/using-precreated-dashboards/)
|
