# Monitoring and Alerting

The monitoring and alerting features of the Seldon Enterprise Platform provide robust tools for tracking the performance and health of machine learning models in production.

## Monitoring

* Real-Time metrics: collects and displays real-time metrics from deployed models, such as response times, error rates, and resource usage.
* Model performance tracking: monitors key performance indicators (KPIs) like accuracy, drift detection, and model degradation over time.
* Custom metrics: allows you to define and track custom metrics specific to their models and use cases.
* Visualization: Provides dashboards and visualizations to easily observe the status and performance of models.

## Alerting:

* Proactive notifications: sends alerts when specific thresholds or conditions are met, such as a sudden drop in model accuracy or an increase in response latency.
* Integration with alertmanager: leverages alertmanager to manage and route alerts to appropriate channels, such as email, Slack, or other communication tools.
* Service Level Objectives (SLOs): alerts are triggered based on SLO breaches, ensuring that any critical issues in model performance or infrastructure are promptly addressed.
* Automated response: supports automated responses to alerts, such as scaling resources or triggering workflows to retrain a model.

Together, these features ensure that models running in production are performing as expected and that any issues are quickly identified and addressed to maintain the reliability and effectiveness of the machine learning deployments.

For a hands-on experience, you can explore the alerting functionality through the[ alerting demo](/seldon-enterprise-platform/demos/general/alerting-integration.md) after installing [monitoring](/seldon-enterprise-platform/production-environment/observability-alerting/observability.md) and [alerting](/seldon-enterprise-platform/production-environment/observability-alerting/alerting.md) components of Seldon Enterprise Platform.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.seldon.ai/seldon-enterprise-platform/production-environment/observability-alerting.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
