+## Metrics
+
+Azure Backup provides a set of built-in metrics via Azure Monitor that allows you to monitor the health of your backups. To view metrics, go to **Backup center** and click **Metrics** from the menu.

+
+Azure Backup offers the following key capabilities:
+
+* Ability to view out-of-the-box metrics related to backup and restore health of your backup items along with associated trends.
+* Ability to write custom alert rules on these metrics to efficiently monitor the health of your backup items.
+* Ability to route fired metric alerts to different notification channels supported by Azure Monitor, such as email, ITSM, webhook, logic apps, and so on.
+
+[Learn more about Azure Backup metrics](metrics-overview.md).
+
+## Alerts
+
+To view alerts, go to **Backup center** and click the **Alerts** from the menu.
+
+You can also see a summary of open alerts in the last 24 hours in the **Overview** dashboard.

+
+Currently, the following types of alerts are displayed in Backup center:
+
+* **Default Azure Monitor alerts for Azure Backup (preview)**: This includes the built-in security alerts and configured alerts that Azure Backup provides via Azure Monitor. [Learn more about the alert scenarios supported by this solution](backup-azure-monitoring-built-in-monitor.md#azure-monitor-alerts-for-azure-backup-preview).
+* **Metric alerts for Azure Backup (preview)**: This includes alerts fired based on the metric alert rules you created. [Learn more about Azure Backup metric alerts](metrics-overview.md)
+
+>[!NOTE]
+>- Currently, Backup center displays only alerts for Azure-based workloads. To view alerts for on-premises resources, go to the Recovery Services vault and click **Alerts** from the menu.
+>- Backup center displays only Azure Monitor alerts. Alerts raised by the older alerting solution (accessed under the [Backup Alerts](backup-azure-monitoring-built-in-monitor.md#backup-alerts-in-recovery-services-vault) tab in Recovery Services vault) aren't displayed in Backup center.
+
+For more details about Azure Monitor alerts, see [Overview of alerts in Azure](../azure-monitor/alerts/alerts-overview.md).
+
+### Datasource and Global Alerts
+
+The following classes of alerts are displayed:
+
+* **Datasource Alerts**: Alerts that are tied to a specific datasource being backed up (such as, backup or restore failure for a VM, deleting backup data for a database, and so on) appear under the **Datasource Alerts** section. For metric alerts, if the fired alert has a datasource ID dimension associated with it, the fired alert appears under **Datasource Alerts**.
+* **Global Alerts**: Alerts that aren't tied to a specific datasource (such as, disabling soft-delete functionality for a vault) appear under the **Global Alerts** section. For metric alerts, if the fired alert doesn't have a datasource ID associated with it, the fired alert appears under **Global Alerts**.

 ## Vaults
 
 Selecting the **Vaults** menu item in Backup center allows you to see a list of all [Recovery Services vaults](backup-azure-recovery-services-vault-overview.md) and [Backup vaults](backup-vault-overview.md) that you have access to. You can filter the list with the following parameters:

+## Resource-centric views
 
-If your organization backs up multiple resources to a common vault, and each resource owner only wants to see backup information of the resources that they own, you can use the resource centric view in Backup center. To use the resource centric view, select the checkbox 'Only show information about datasources which I have access to'. This option is currently supported for the following tabs: **Overview**, **Backup Instances**, **Jobs**, **Alerts**. The supported workloads are Azure VMs, SQL in Azure VMs, SAP HANA in Azure VMs, Azure Blobs, Azure Disks.

-> Users will still need to have the required RBAC permissions to the vault even if they are using resource centric view. The purpose of this view is to enable individual users to avoid viewing information for resources (for example, VMs) that they don't own.
