Read an alert
When an active monitor’s threshold is crossed, EvalGate creates an alert and delivers it to the channels you configured. Here is how to read one and what to do next.What an alert contains
An alert records:- the monitor and its exact version that fired,
- the sample and monitor run that crossed the threshold,
- the traces that contributed to the failure,
- the failure topic the alert was grouped into (if any).
Step 1 — Triage
Open the alert. Look at the contributing traces — are they the same failure repeated, or several different ones? Group them by failure category to find out.Step 2 — Inspect a representative trace
Open one contributing trace in the Logs explorer. Confirm the failure is real and not a scorer false positive.Step 3 — Route the failure
From the alert or the trace, choose a next step:- Promote to case — turn the failure into a test case.
- Create review task — hand it to a teammate.
- Start an eval-loop workflow — carry the failure end to end to a signed report.
