+### Alerting
+
+VictoriaMetrics doesn't support rule evaluation and alerting yet, so these actions must be performed either
+on [Prometheus side](https://prometheus.io/docs/alerting/overview/) or on [Grafana side](https://grafana.com/docs/alerting/rules/).

 ### Security
 
 Do not forget protecting sensitive endpoints in VictoriaMetrics when exposing it to untrusted networks such as internet.
