# Missing workers monitor

The missing workers monitor checks if there are enough workers running for your queues. For example, you may have designed your infrastructure to have at least 4 workers running at any given time, for redundancy and performance, you could then enable this monitor and configure it to trigger alerts if the number of workers goes below 2. 

As with other monitors, this monitor will not trigger new alerts for queues that have alerts in triggered status.
