  "summary": "High event volume alerts are now available for Event Stream sources on the Growth and Enterprise plans. Users can set a rise threshold and receive an alert when a source ingests more events in the last hour than it did in the same hour one week earlier. This feature allows users to configure alerts in the RudderStack dashboard, under Settings Workspace Alerts tab. A sudden spike in event volume can be caused by various factors such as a broken pipeline, a misconfigured SDK, or an unexpected traffic surge. Conversely, a drop in event volume may indicate a broken pipeline. High event volume alerts are designed to help users investigate these issues in real-time. Workspace-level setup requires admin access, and users can create overrides for individual sources if needed.",
