# Overview

> Monitor and manage alerts triggered by validation threshold violations.

Alerts are created automatically when a validation detects a threshold violation. Navigate to **Alerts** in the left sidebar to view and manage all alerts across your workspace.

## Alert groups

Alerts are organized into groups — each validation maps to a specific alert group. A group displays up to 50 alerts by default. When a validation generates 50 or more alerts, the same group name repeats with new alert instances so no alerts are lost.
