Use rules to turn alerts on or off

By configuring a rule in the Google Admin console, you can turn alerts on or off. You can also use a rule to configure other settings, for example to configure alert center email notifications. 

You have two options for using rules to turn alerts on or off:

  • Turn alerts on for all reporting rules at once—From the alert center, you can enable alerts for all reporting rules with one click. Go to a banner at the top of the page, and click Turn On.
  • Turn alerts on or off one rule at a time—Turn alerts on or off one rule at a time from the rules page.

For step-by-step instructions, see the sections below.
