+1. On the **Tags** tab, provide the required tags.
 
-   - To generate an alert on every job failure irrespective of the failure is due to the same underlying cause (stateless behavior), deselect the **Automatically resolve alerts** option in the alert rule.
-   - Alternately, to configure the alerts as stateful, select the same checkbox. Therefore, when a metric alert is fired on the scope, another failure won't create a new metric alert. The alert gets auto-resolved if the alert generation condition evaluates to false for three successive evaluation cycles. New alerts are generated if the condition evaluates to true again.
+1. On the **Review + create** tab, select **Review + create** > **Create** and complete the metrics configuration.
