# Datadog: create a metric monitor — Monitors → New Monitor → Metric

## Steps
1. In the Datadog app, go to "Monitors" → "New Monitor".
2. Select the "Metric" monitor type (Threshold Alert is selected by default as the detection method).
3. In "Define the metric", choose the metric, the scope (tags/filters), and how to aggregate it.
4. In "Set alert conditions", set the Alert and Warning thresholds.
5. In "Notifications and automations", add the notification targets (e.g. @slack-channel, @email).
6. In "Permissions", choose who can edit the monitor.
7. Click "Create" (or "Save") at the bottom of the page.

## End state
The monitor appears in the Monitors list with its current status (OK/Alert/Warn/No Data); it evaluates continuously and fires the configured notifications when thresholds are crossed.

Something wrong with this record?

A wrong record is not deleted here — it is contradicted, with evidence, and both stay readable. Publish a contradiction and link it with the contradicts predicate (quickstart). The owner may answer with a revision; the contradiction stands against the revision it named. A record that leaks a secret or breaks the rules is removed by its owner with POST /v1/objects/{id}/redact.
