<!-- The first section "Release notes" is required if you want to have your release post blog MR auto generated. Currently in BETA, details on the **release post item generator** can be found in the handbook: https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/blog/release-posts/#release-post-item-generator and this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfn9ebgTwKg. The next four sections: "Problem to solve", "Intended users", "User experience goal", and "Proposal", are strongly recommended in your first draft, while the rest of the sections can be filled out during the problem validation or breakdown phase. However, keep in mind that providing complete and relevant information early helps our product team validate the problem and start working on a solution. -->

Define both the success metrics and acceptance criteria. Note that success metrics indicate the desired business outcomes, while acceptance criteria indicate when the solution is working correctly. If there is no way to measure success, link to an issue that will implement a way to measure this.
Create tracking issue using the the Snowplow event tracking template. See https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/.gitlab/issue_templates/Snowplow%20event%20tracking.md
* Use this issue template for creating requests to track snowplow events
* Snowplow events can be both Frontend (javascript) or Backend (Ruby)
* Snowplow is currently not used for self-hosted instances of GitLab - Self-hosted still rely on usage ping for product analytics - Snowplow is used for GitLab SaaS
* You do not need to create an issue to track generic front-end events, such as All page views, sessions, link clicks, some button clicks, etc.
* What you should capture are specific events with defined business logic. For example, when a user creates an incident by escalating an existing alert, or when a user creates and pushes up a new Node package to the NPM registry.
* For more details read https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/business-ops/data-team/programs/data-for-product-managers/

<!--
We generally recommend events be tracked using a [structured event](https://docs.snowplowanalytics.com/docs/understanding-tracking-design/out-of-the-box-vs-custom-events-and-entities/#structured-events) which has 5 properties you can use. There may be instances where structured events are not sufficient. You may want to track an event where the property changes frequently or is general something very unique. In those cases, use a [self-decribing event](https://docs.snowplowanalytics.com/docs/understanding-tracking-design/out-of-the-box-vs-custom-events-and-entities/#self-describing-events)
-->
## Structured Snowplow events to track
* Category: The page or backend area of the application. Unless infeasible, please use the Rails page attribute by default in the frontend, and namespace + classname on the backend. If you're not sure what it is, work with your engineering manager to figure it out.
* Action: A string that is used to define the user action. The first word should always describe the action or aspect: clicks should be `click`, activations should be `activate`, creations should be `create`, etc. Use underscores to describe what was acted on; for example, activating a form field would be `activate_form_input`. An interface action like clicking on a dropdown would be `click_dropdown`, while a behavior like creating a project record from the backend would be `create_project`
* Label: Optional. The specific element, or object that's being acted on. This is either the label of the element (e.g. a tab labeled 'Create from template' may be `create_from_template`) or a unique identifier if no text is available (e.g. closing the Groups dropdown in the top navbar might be `groups_dropdown_close`), or it could be the name or title attribute of a record being created.
* Property: Optional. Any additional property of the element, or object being acted on.
* Value: Optional, numeric. Describes a numeric value or something directly related to the event. This could be the value of an input (e.g. `10` when clicking `internal` visibility)
Snowplow event tracking starts with instrumentation and completed after a chart is created in Sisense.
Use this checklist to ensure all steps are completed
-->
## Snowplow event tracking checklist
* [ ] Engineering complete work and deploy changes to GitLab SaaS
*[ ] Verify the new Snowplow events are listed in the [Snowplow Event Exploration](https://app.periscopedata.com/app/gitlab/539181/Snowplow-Event-Exploration---last-30-days) dashboard
* [ ] Create chart(s) to track your event(s) in the relevant dashboard
*[ ] Use the [Chart Snowplow Actions](https://app.periscopedata.com/app/gitlab/snippet/Chart-Snowplow-Actions/5546da87ae2c4a3fbc98415c88b3eedd/edit) SQL snippet to quickly visualize usage. See [example](https://app.periscopedata.com/app/gitlab/737489/Health-Group-Dashboard?widget=9797112&udv=0)
<!-- Label reminders - you should have one of each of the following labels if you can figure out the correct ones -->

# Alert notifications
GitLab can react to alerts triggered from your applications. When an alert is
triggered in GitLab by [managed-Prometheus](../../user/project/integrations/prometheus.md#managed-prometheus-on-kubernetes)
or triggered using an external source and received with an integration, it's
important for a responder to be notified.
Responders can receive notifications using the methods described on this page.
## Slack notifications
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/216326) in GitLab 13.1.
You can be alerted by a Slack message when a new alert has been triggered.
For setup information, see the [Slack Notifications Service docs](../../user/project/integrations/slack.md).
## Email notifications
If a project has been [configured to create incidents for triggered alerts](incidents.md#configure-incidents),
projects members with the _Owner_ or _Maintainer_ role will be sent an email
notification. To send additional email notifications to project members with the
Developer role:
1. Navigate to **Settings > Operations**.
1. Expand the **Incidents** section.
1. In the **Alert Integration** tab, select the **Send a separate email notification to Developers**
