Set up your alert channels in the Config settings.

Within the **Config Settings** tab, users will find two distinct subtabs:

1. **Config Alerts**: This is where you can establish and adjust your primary alert channels.
2. **Default Settings**: Use this section to define standard parameters, such as Monitoring Frequency and Incident Severity Levels, for your monitors.
