Metric alerts tell you when a [metric](/product/performance/metrics/) crosses a threshold set by you, like a spike in the number of errors in a project, or a change in a performance metric, such as [transaction duration](/product/performance/metrics/#latency), [Apdex](/product/performance/metrics/#apdex), [failure rate](/product/performance/metrics/#failure-rate), or [throughput](/product/performance/metrics/#throughput-total-tpm-tps).

You can use [dynamic alerts](/product/alerts/create-alerts/metric-alert-config/#dynamic-alerts) to let Sentry define the threshold for you.

Metric alerts monitor macro-level metrics for both error and transaction events. A metric takes a set of events and computes an aggregate value using a function, such as `count()` or `avg()`, applied to the event properties over a period of time. When you create a metric alert, you can filter events by attributes and <PlatformLink to="/enriching-events/tags/">tags</PlatformLink>, which is particularly useful for aggregating across events that aren't grouped into single issues. Sentry allows a maximum of 1000 metric alerts for an organization.

Dynamic alerts can be used when you don't know what threshold to set, but you know you want to be alerted when something is far outside the bounds of normalcy. Sentry will look at the historical data for the given metric and determine if the current data is anomalous. You can select how responsive the alert will be, and whether you want to be alerted when the metric is above and/or below the expected bounds.
