When you set up an alert definition, you can define notification settings:

- **Notification cadence and frequency:** Define how often and at what intervals notifications are sent once an alert is triggered.
- **Resolution notification:** Determine whether users are notified when the alert condition is resolved.
- **Alert scope and granularity:** Control whether a single alert is triggered in [Incidents](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/alerting/incidents/index.md) for a broad condition or separate alerts are generated for each unique combination of conditions that meet the criteria.
- **Notification destinations:** Add a third-party destination for your notifications using [Notification Center](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/notification-center/introduction/index.md) connector and preset configurations (recommended) or legacy webhooks. Find out about configuring routing [here](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/notification-center/routing/introduction/index.md).

## Notification cadence

- **Notify every**: Set the cadence of notifications (e.g., every 0 hours and 10 minutes). This determines how often notifications are sent after the alert definition is triggered.
- **Notify when resolved**: Toggle to enable or disable notifications once the alert condition is resolved.

## Alert scope and granularity

Define the alert scope and granularity. Select between the following options:

- **Trigger a single alert** when at least one combination of the group by values meets the condition. A single notification, aggregating all values matching an alert query and conditions, is sent to [Incidents](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/alerting/incidents/index.md). If no group by values is selected, a single alert is triggered when the alert definition is triggered.
- **Trigger a separate alert for each combination that meets the condition**. Multiple individual notifications for each Group By field value may be sent to [Incidents](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/alerting/incidents/index.md) when query conditions are met. Select one or more keys - consisting of a subset of the fields selected in the alert conditions - in the drop-down menu. A separate notification is sent for each key selected.

Note

The number of **Group By** permutations is limited to 1000. If there are more permutations, then only the first 1000 are tracked.
