Alertee watches your databases and alerts you the moment something looks wrong — a table that stopped receiving rows, a metric that crossed a threshold, a dimension that suddenly disappeared. It’s for the failure mode uptime monitors miss: the app is up, but the database says the outcome stopped happening.

​
How it works

A check is a SQL query that runs on a schedule and evaluates its result against a condition. When the condition is breached, Alertee opens an incident in your Inbox and notifies your team — via email, Slack, or webhook. You get a check two ways, and you choose per check:
  • Write it yourself. Plain SQL plus a condition. It stays yours — Alertee never edits it.
  • Let Alertee’s agent author it. Connect a database (or describe what you want in plain English) and the agent inspects your schema, drafts a baseline-aware query, picks a threshold, and keeps it tuned on a review cadence. Checks the agent owns are marked managed by Alertee. See Managed checks.
Set a condition of greater than 0 — the healthy state is “at least one order” — and Alertee opens an incident if that count ever hits zero. When you resolve an incident you classify the outcome — real, transient, expected, or noisy. Alertee uses those outcomes to cut future noise. See the Inbox.

​
Beyond the database

Data quality is the core, but a check doesn’t have to be SQL. Point one at a URL or API endpoint to catch downtime, slow responses, or a bad status code, or have a scheduled job send a heartbeat so Alertee alerts the moment that job stops checking in. And if credentials can’t leave your network at all, run the query yourself and push us the number — we alert on it exactly the same way. Same conditions, same Inbox, same alerts.

Key concepts

Checks

A check is a SQL query + a condition + a schedule. It’s the core building block.

Managed checks

Let Alertee’s agent author a baseline-aware check from your schema and keep it tuned.

Inbox

Failed checks become incidents you acknowledge, assign, resolve, and classify.

Connections

An encrypted, read-only link to a PostgreSQL or ClickHouse database.

Alert groups

Group your notification channels (email, Slack, webhook) and assign them to checks.

CLI & MCP

Drive Alertee from your terminal or an AI agent over MCP.
