Each monitor tracks a single metric or a ratio of two, with statistical anomaly detection or a fixed threshold plus configurable detection windows, filters and grouping, and alerts route through email, Slack, Vercel Inbox, push notifications or team-level webhooks. Custom monitors are available on Pro and Enterprise plans with Observability Plus at $0.0035 per GB of data scanned, while built-in alerts remain included with Observability Plus.", "body_md": "You can now create custom monitors to get alerts based on your [Vercel Observability query](https://vercel.com/docs/query) results. \n\nFor example, you can track signals such as AI Gateway costs, Core Web Vitals and other performance metrics, Workflow and external API failure rates, or Vercel Sandbox CPU time.\n\nEach monitor tracks a single metric, such as response time, or a ratio of two metrics, such as errors divided by total requests. Choose statistical anomaly detection or a fixed threshold, then configure the detection window, filters, and grouping.\n\nTo create a monitor, inspect a chart’s query in Observability, start from a preset, or open [**Settings > Alerts**](https://vercel.com/d?to=%2F%5Bteam%5D%2F%7E%2Fsettings%2Falerts%3FcustomAlert%3Dtrue) for your team.\n\nReceive alerts through email, Slack, Vercel Inbox, push notifications, or team-level webhooks. You can also add context for [Vercel Agent](https://vercel.com/agent) to use when investigating an alert.\n\nCustom monitors are available on Pro and Enterprise plans with Observability Plus, at $0.0035 per GB of data scanned. Built-in alerts remain included with Observability Plus.\n\n[Create a custom monitor](https://vercel.com/d?to=%2F%5Bteam%5D%2F%7E%2Fsettings%2Falerts%3FcustomAlert%3Dtrue) or learn more in the [configuration documentation](https://vercel.com/docs/alerts/configure-alerts#configure-custom-rules).", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/create-custom-monitors-in-vercel-observability", "canonical_source": "https://vercel.com/changelog/create-custom-monitors-in-vercel-observability", "published_at": "2026-10-26 06:00:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-10-26 21:14:05.087315+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-infrastructure", "mlops", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["Vercel", "Vercel Observability", "Vercel Agent", "AI Gateway", "Vercel Sandbox", "Core Web Vitals"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/create-custom-monitors-in-vercel-observability", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/create-custom-monitors-in-vercel-observability.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/create-custom-monitors-in-vercel-observability.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/create-custom-monitors-in-vercel-observability.jsonld"}}
