## Connections Alerting

Connections Alerting allows Segment users to receive in-app, email, and Slack notifications related to the performance and throughput of an event-streaming connection.

11+
> info "Connections Alerting is currently in beta"
12+
> This means that the Connections Alerting feature is in active development, and some functionality may change before it becomes generally available. During the beta, Connections Alerting supports event-streaming connections: [event streaming sources](/docs/connections/sources/#event-streams-sources) and [cloud-mode destinations](/docs/connections/destinations/#event-streams-destinations).
13+
14+
Connections Alerting allows you to create two different alerts:
15+
- **Source volume alerts**: These alerts notify you if your source ingests an abnormally small or large amount of data. For example, if you set a change percentage of 4%, you would be notified when your source ingests less than 96% or more than 104% of the typical event volume.
16+
- **Successful delivery rate alerts**: These alerts notify you if your destination's successful delivery rate falls outside of a percentage that you set. For example, if you set a percentage of 99%, you would be notified if you destination had a successful delivery rate of 98% or below.

The last option Segment recommends is to use a monitoring tool like [PagerDuty](https://www.pagerduty.com/){:target="_blank"} or [Data Dog](https://www.datadoghq.com/){:target="_blank"} and point Segment's [webhooks](/docs/connections/destinations/catalog/webhooks/) destination at them.
