Alerts that respect your attention
An alert that fires every hour is an alert that gets muted. CloudMonitor evaluates rules hourly but deliberately limits how often each one can notify: the spend rule at most once per calendar month, the critical-finding and stale-key rules at most once every 24 hours, and budgets once at their threshold and once at 100%.
What you can be alerted about
- Monthly spend above an amount you choose.
- Any open critical security finding — such as a database port open to the internet.
- Stale access keys — any IAM access key older than 90 days.
- Budgets — every budget alerts automatically, with no rule to set up.
Alerts appear in the in-app notification bell and are emailed to the workspace owners and admins. The alerts page keeps 90 days of history. Slack, Teams and webhook delivery are not available today.
Scheduled reports
Reports go out daily, weekly or monthly to any list of recipients, and every new workspace starts with a daily report to its owner. Each email summarises month-to-date and yesterday’s spend, the month-end forecast and daily burn, the waste figure, the security score and grade with the top five findings, budget status, fleet health patterns and the resource count — branded with your workspace name. A “send now” button is there for the meeting that starts in five minutes.
Exports and mail delivery
Inventory, monthly cost, daily spend, findings, savings and IAM users can all be exported as CSV on demand. Mail is sent through your workspace’s own SMTP server if you configure one, then the platform’s, so reports can come from your own domain — ideal alongside white-label workspaces.
