# Escalation Policies **(PREMIUM)**
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/4638) in GitLab 14.1.
|
|
|
|
Escalation Policies protect your company from missed critical alerts. Escalation Policies contain
|
|
time-boxed steps that automatically page the next responder in the escalation step if the responder
|
|
in the previous step has not responded. You can create an escalation policy in the GitLab project
|
|
where you manage [On-call schedules](oncall_schedules.md).
|
|
|
|
## Add an escalation policy
|
|
|
|
Prerequisite:
|
|
|
|
- You must have at least the Maintainer role.
|
|
- You must have an [on-call schedule](oncall_schedules.md).
|
|
|
|
To create an escalation policy:
|
|
|
|
1. On the top bar, select **Menu > Projects** and find your project.
|
|
1. On the left sidebar, select **Monitor > Escalation Policies**.
|
|
1. Select **Add an escalation policy**.
|
|
1. Enter the policy's name and description, and
|
|
escalation rules to follow when a primary responder misses an alert.
|
|
1. Select **Add escalation policy**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Select the responder of an escalation rule
|
|
|
|
When configuring an escalation rule, you can designate who to page:
|
|
|
|
- **Email on-call user in schedule:** notifies the users who are on-call when the rule is triggered,
|
|
covering all rotations on the specified [on-call schedule](oncall_schedules.md).
|
|
- **Email user:** notifies the specified user directly.
|
|
|
|
When a notification is sent to a user through an on-call schedule or directly, a system note listing
|
|
the paged users is created on the alert.
|
|
|
|
## Edit an escalation policy
|
|
|
|
To update an escalation policy:
|

|
