# Alerting & Observability


Managing data quality across a number of sources and destinations isn’t easy, especially in a complex data infrastructure. 

RudderStack's monitoring and alerting capabilities help you track event volume trends, violations, and get a holistic view of your system's health. You can also configure thresholds for key alerts across your data stack.

## Health dashboard

RudderStack's intuitive health dashboard provides a global view of data health across all your pipelines and integrations, including metrics on data ingestion, delivery, and tracking plan violations. 

The health dashboard is a central place to track trends in data volume and violations so you can identify and fix potential problems before they become acute and impact your downstream systems.

See the [Health Dashboard]({{< ref "monitor/health-dashboard.md" >}}) guide for more details.

## Alerts

RudderStack's alerting capabilities let you set up alerts for critical data issues so you get notified immediately and can take immediate remedial actions before they escalate into major issues.

See the [Configurable Alerts]({{< ref "monitor/alerts.md" >}}) guide for more information.
