Enabling alerting

To enable alerting on your application: - Navigate to your application repository - Clone the repo down locally - Alerts are configured in the following paths - <repo_name>.github/workflows/build-push-deploy-dev.yml - <repo_name>.github/workflows/build-push-deploy-prod.yml - Add this syntax in the helm upgrade section of the required workflow(s) --set Alerts.enabled=true - Merge your pr, alerts will then be enabled

You can find the current configured alerts below once enabled all these alerts will become active provided you have the required resources to alert on.
