- **Evaluation group**: how frequently the alert rule is evaluated.
- **Evaluation interval**: how long the condition must be met to start firing. This allows your data time to stabilize before triggering an alert, helping to reduce the frequency of unnecessary notifications.
- **Evaluation group**: every alert rule is assigned to an evaluation group. You can assign the alert rule to an existing evaluation group or create a new one.
- **Evaluation interval**: determines how frequently the alert rule is checked. For instance, the evaluation may occur every 10s, 30s, 1m, 10m, etc.
- **Pending period**: how long the condition must be met to trigger the alert rule.
