* **Alert Grouping**.
* **Trigger Conditions**. Thresholds value that must met for monitor to trigger an alert. Applicable values include Critical, Warning, and Missing Data. These values are set when you create a monitor and can be based on a variety of metrics such as CPU usage, network latency, application response time.

### Convert to Anomaly

:::note Log monitors only
Metrics monitors not supported at this time.

Outlier monitors are functionally similar to anomaly monitors, but tend to generate more noise. From a data usage perspective, anomaly monitors are more cost-effective.

To reduce data usage and alert frequency, you can convert an existing outlier monitor to an anomaly-based monitor by clicking **Convert to Anomaly**. This action will open a monitor configuration window with the [detection method](/docs/alerts/monitors/create-monitor/#detection-method) preset to **Anomaly**, and you can adjust other settings as needed. You’ll then have the option to either disable the original outlier monitor or keep it active.<br/><img src={useBaseUrl('img/alerts/monitors/convert-to-anomaly.png')} alt="convert-to-anomaly" width="600"/>

For more guidance on optimizing scan costs when using Flex Pricing, refer to the [FAQ on optimizing scan costs for monitors](/docs/alerts/monitors/monitor-faq/#how-can-i-optimize-scan-costs-for-monitors-when-using-flex-pricing).

### View in Log Search

The **View in Log Search** button opens a new **Log Search** page with the monitor’s query preloaded in the search field. You can run the query to compare the search results against the threshold values set in your monitor.
