You can view, configure, and enable various alerts for the cluster.

Alerts are bound to a cluster object (such as a [BDB](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/references/rest-api/objects/bdb) or [node](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/references/rest-api/objects/node)), and the cluster's state determines whether the alerts turn on or off.
