Alerts are an essential part of monitoring and managing your applications. This document will guide you through the process of configuring alerts for your applications.
Basic Setup
To set up alerts, you need to follow these steps:
Define Alert Conditions: Determine the conditions under which an alert should be triggered. This could be based on metrics like CPU usage, memory usage, or error rates.
Create Alert Rules: Once you have defined the conditions, create alert rules that specify what actions should be taken when the conditions are met.
Configure Notification Channels: Set up notification channels to receive alerts. This could be email, SMS, or other messaging platforms.
Advanced Configuration
For more advanced configurations, consider the following:
- Thresholds: Set thresholds for different metrics to ensure alerts are triggered only when the conditions are severe.
- Escalation Policies: Implement escalation policies to notify higher-ups if the alert persists for a certain period.
- Silence Rules: Create silence rules to temporarily suppress alerts during maintenance windows or other planned outages.
Example
Here's an example of an alert rule:
- Condition: CPU usage is above 80% for more than 5 minutes.
- Action: Send an email notification to the system administrator.
