For each organization and project, you can select which conditions trigger alerts and how users are notified.
Note
M0 Free clusters and Flex clusters only trigger alerts related
to the metrics supported by those clusters. For complete documentation
on M0 and Flex clusters alert and metric limitations, see
Atlas M0 (Free Cluster) Limits, and Atlas Flex Limitations.

The Organization Billing Admin role grants a

To manage project alerts, you must have

Configure an Alert

View Alert Configurations
You can configure Maintenance Window Alerts for projects. These alerts are effective only for projects with an active maintenance window configured. If you don't configure a maintenance window, you can create a maintenance window alert but maintenance tasks will not trigger the alert.

Delete an Alert
If you delete an alert setting, Atlas cancels active alerts related to the setting. A deleted alert setting does not remain visible.
