# Monitoring

Monitoring workload involves setting up automations that alert you to changes in WU consumption that may require your attention.

<summary>Workload notifications</summary>

Workload notifications offer both automatic and custom alerts. Automatic notifications use predefined criteria to inform you of unusually high WU consumption, while custom notifications allow you to set your own criteria.

<summary>Infinite recursion protection</summary>

Infinite recursion protection safeguards against unexpected increases in workload or CPU usage. It lets you set a limit for the total number of successive workflows that a root workflow and its subsequent workflows can execute. When this limit is reached, the workflow is automatically terminated, preventing excessive resource consumption.
