Understanding the alert flow from detection to notification

FlareWarden checks your monitor at the configured interval

If a check fails, cross-region validation confirms the issue

An incident is created and the monitor status changes

Emails and webhooks are triggered based on each user's preferences

When the issue resolves, recovery notifications are sent

Cross-region validation prevents unnecessary alerts

FlareWarden uses cross-region validation to prevent false alarms from temporary network issues:

When a check fails, additional checks run from different geographic regions
Incidents are only created when multiple regions confirm the failure
Configure the validation threshold in your preferences (default: 2 confirmations)
