Use Case
Let's say you have a daily backup process that downloads important customer data files from Amazon S3 to your local system at midnight. You need to ensure these critical backups happen without fail.
With Alert Manager, you can:
Monitor the S3 download automation workflow by adding filters specifically for the "
Download File" node..png&w=1080&q=75)

Configure warning alerts if file download takes longer than 15 minutes.
Set critical alerts if downloads fail or files are missing.
Send immediate email notifications to your DevOps team.
Get Slack alerts when AWS connection issues occur.
Monitor successful runs to ensure daily backup completion.
This ensures your backup data is always available and any S3 download issues are caught immediately, preventing data availability problems the next business day.
