**Build dynamic New Relic dashboards with template variables**

**Support tip of the week: Know when there is an alert failure**

Alerts are only helpful when you receive the corresponding notification. There are a number of reasons a notification can fail to make it to the recipient, and now New Relic gives you the ability to investigate these issues and alert on them. Read this post to find out how.
