# Architecture Update: Alerting & Anti-Spam

**Context from User (Hendrik):**
"I would expect we also need to add some kind of monitoring / alerting to our platform. using your example, we need to detect the failure at 3 am and be able to notify but not spam an operator."

**Directives:**
1. **Anti-Spam / Grouping:** We need smart alerting (grouping by route/business entity, debouncing, threshold-based). 100 failed messages = 1 alert, not 100 emails.
2. **Local Evaluation:** Since TSDB/Logs are on the Customer Hub, alert evaluation MUST happen on the Hub (e.g., using `vmalert` and `Alertmanager`).
3. **SaaS Management:** The SaaS Control Plane UI is where users configure the rules. These rules are pushed down to the Hub.
