# My Monitors

### Overview

**My Monitors** are user-created monitors. Currently, users can only create new monitors by duplicating an existing **Default Monitor** and modifying it according to their needs. **My Monitors** provide users the flexibility to adjust the monitoring criteria, such as SQL queries and thresholds, to fit their specific requirements.

### How does it work?

* **Duplicating Default Monitors:** Users can create **My Monitors** by duplicating an existing **Default Monitor**. This duplication feature allows users to build upon the existing structure of the default SQL queries and modify them according to their specific needs.
* **Customizable Queries:** Once duplicated, users can modify the SQL query, thresholds, and alert criteria of the monitor. This enables users to tailor the monitor to focus on specific assets, custom data conditions, or unique business requirements that are not covered by the default configuration.
* **Full Control:** Users have full control over their **My Monitors**, including the ability to edit the monitor title, assign it to specific teams, and customize alert priorities or resolutions.
