How to Configure Tags 

Creating a New Tag

To create a new tag, head over to the Tags page in your Monitoring app (https://mxtoolbox.com/monitoring/tag/).

1. Once on the page, click the Create Tag button.
2. Type in the desired name for your new tag and click the Plus icon to the right of the input field.
   
3. Your Tag is now successfully created!

Changing Tag Color

You can edit the color of any of your tags. Simply hover over the tag and click on the color swatch. This will open a list of colors you can choose from.

Adding Tags to Monitors

After you have created your tag, select the monitor you would like to add that tag to. 

1. Click the Edit tab of the monitor.
   
   
2. At the bottom, you will see a TAGS section. Click the Add Tag button and select the tag you want to add from the list.
   
   
3. Your tag has now been successfully added to your monitor.

Note: Monitors can have multiple tags.

Setting Up a Notification Policy Based on a Tag 

Notification policies allow you to have a notification sent based on all of the monitors associated with a single tag. This feature is great if you have multiple teams and each team only wants to be alerted to specific monitors that matter to them.

To set this up, access the Notifications page and select the notification policy you want to send only alerts.

Note: Before doing this, make sure your tag has been added to the monitors you want to get alerts on or do not want to get alerts on.

1. In the Alert Group Tags section, select Send alerts with specific tags.
2. In the new input field that appears, start typing the name of the tag you want to add.
   
   
3. This policy will send a notification for any monitor that you have made part of that tag.
