# Alerting
Alerts are signals from [Monitors][1] to perform actions. Alerts MUST
be _meaningful_ and _actionable_.
**Meaningful**: Alert only on montiors which indicate a problem. (See
[Monitoring][1] subsection "Saturation".)
**Actionable**: Alerts MUST always include a corresponding action to
resolve or investigate the underlying condition.
## Requirements
- Alerts MUST be resolved by a human being.
- Alerts MUST begin with [PagerDuty][2].
- Alert notifications MAY forward to Slack.
- Alert notifications MAY forward via Email.
- Alerts MUST NOT deduplicate automatically. A human MAY aggregate
alerts if unknown dependencies provide alerts during an incident.
