Alerts

The alerts page allows for configuring conditional alerts based on statistics in Prometheus. Alerts are fired when the condition in a rule is met. Alerts are sent to their configured team.

The sections work as follows:

  • Alerts - Show alerts that have already been fired

  • Rules - Show and edit the conditions that are monitored

  • Teams - Configure the teams that will be alerted when a rule is met

Click the + button to add a new team

Alerts must be sent to a team. Teams contain one or more destinations for an alert. Alerts can be sent via:

  • Slack (via a webhook)

  • Email

  • PagerDuty

  • Pushover

  • Webhook to a URL

Create a Rule

Rules query Prometheus to determine whether or not they should fire and create an alert. To create a rule, click the + button. The condition can be defined via the UI or by entering a PromQL Query directly.
