Summary
Introduced real-time DDoS attack alerts for all Cloudflare customers on paid plans. Alerts are delivered via email (Pro, Business, Enterprise) and PagerDuty (Business, Enterprise). Two types of alerts are available: HTTP DDoS alerts (for WAF/CDN) and L3/4 DDoS alerts (for Spectrum, Spectrum BYOIP, Magic Transit, coming soon). Alert policies can be created in the Cloudflare dashboard, providing details on attack detection, mitigation time, type, max rate, and target, along with links to view the attack and provide feedback.
