In this document, we use the new terms "issue" and "incident." Please see [this article](https://discuss.newrelic.com/t/new-terminology-coming-for-alerts/163727) for a full explanation of these terms.
</Callout>

An issue is a collection of one or more incidents.
To make the most of the info on this page, we recommend understanding the meaning of these terms:

Issues determine when you're notified about incidents disrupting your business. These incidents occur when your given alert conditions (like CPU overage, synthetic monitoring crashes, or slow web app response times) are met.
* **Issues**. Issues are groups of incidents related to the same underlying problem. When a new incident is created, incident intelligence opens an issue and evaluates other open issues for possible correlation. See [Issues and incident management and response](/docs/alerts-applied-intelligence/applied-intelligence/incident-intelligence/Issues-and-Incident-management-and-response/) for more information.

* **Incidents**. Incidents are groups of events that describe the symptoms affecting your system over time. See [View violation and event details for incidents](/docs/alerts-applied-intelligence/new-relic-alerts/alert-incidents/view-violation-event-details-incidents/) for more information.

* **Conditions**. A condition describes a monitored data source and the behavior of that data source that will be considered an incident. See [Create conditions](/docs/alerts-applied-intelligence/new-relic-alerts/alert-conditions/create-alert-conditions/) for more information.

* **Policies**. A policy is a group of one or more conditions. See [Manage your policies](/docs/alerts-applied-intelligence/new-relic-alerts/alert-policies/create-edit-or-find-alert-policy/) for more information.

Issues determine when you're notified about incidents disrupting your business. These incidents occur when they meet your alert conditions. For example, you can have alert conditions about CPU overage, synthetic monitoring crashes, or slow web app response times.

When you can control the policy conditions that create issues, you make sure that you're notified about important ongoing or recurring problems. This way you won't be bombarded with unnecessary notifications and avoid noise.

Learn how to set issue preferences by your policy, condition, or condition and signal combination.
