# How to create performance monitors {% embed url="" %} ### What are performance monitors Performance monitors help you track performance trends and spot significant changes without spreadsheets or scripts. They're shown in the **Performance view.** A monitor is a condition/rule you define (e.g. Conv rate goes below 5%), which Adalysis will check automatically at a frequency you specify. An alert is triggered when that condition is met. You can create monitors for individual or multiple accounts. Define global monitors to add automatically to all future accounts, ensuring consistency.

Choose from high or standard priority monitors. This makes it easier to focus on the most important metric changes first. Once triggered, alerts will be displayed on-screen. You can also choose email and/or Slack alerts.

### How to add monitors **Adding a monitor to one account** Create **high or standard priority** monitors by clicking the relevant cell, based on their importance to your account.

{% hint style="info" %} Predefined monitors are available in a template that you can edit as needed. {% endhint %}

**Adding a monitor to multiple accounts** Create a monitor in one account and check this option to apply it to other accounts at the same time.

**Edit, copy, or delete a monitor across multiple accounts** Whenever you edit or delete a monitor, you'll see options to apply the change to other accounts as well. You can also copy an existing monitor to other accounts.

**Global monitors**

Global monitors ensure consistent use of monitors across all your accounts: 1. Global monitors are added automatically to all newly linked accounts. 2. Global monitors can be applied to existing accounts using their edit option. 3. When creating a new global monitor, you can add it to all existing accounts. ### Reviewing performance alerts Performance alerts are triggered when a monitor threshold is detected. You'll see the notifications on the **Performance view** and via email/Slack (if configured). Click a cell to open the alerts for that account.

**Root cause** activates the [Performance Analyzer](/tools/performance/root-cause-analysis-with-the-performance-analyzer.md) to quickly identify what drove the performance change.
