# Configure alarms for AWS IoT SiteWise
<a name="configure-alarms"></a>

On the **Assets** page, project owners can configure each alarm to set it up for their equipment and processes. You can update the alarm's threshold value and notification settings.

**Notes**  
You can only configure alarms that your team sets up to detect in the AWS Cloud. You can't configure external alarms.
You can only configure alarm properties that your team sets up for you to customize. For example, your AWS administrator might define a threshold or notification recipient as a static value that you can't change.

**To configure an alarm**
