## **Observability**

You can view the specific alert policies applied to your service directly from this section.

* Click **View details** on the Alert Policies panel to open the detailed breakdown.\
  The **Alert Policy details** panel provides a granular look at how your alerts are configured and where notifications are sent.
* **Notification Channels:** Displays the destination where alerts are delivered, such as Slack channels or specific Email addresses.
* **Alert Metrics:** Lists the specific conditions that trigger an alert (For example, Node Down or DB Service Node Down) along with the Severity level (For example, Critical).
