Alerta monitoring system
The Alerta monitoring tool was developed with the following aims in mind:
Release 9 only supports Python 3.9 or higher.
The only mandatory dependency is MongoDB or PostgreSQL. Everything else is optional.
To install MongoDB on Debian/Ubuntu run:
$ sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
$ mongodTo install MongoDB on CentOS/RHEL run:
$ sudo yum install -y mongodb
$ mongodTo install the Alerta server and client run:
$ pip install alerta-server alerta
$ alertad runTo install the web console run:
$ wget https://github.com/alerta/alerta-webui/releases/latest/download/alerta-webui.tar.gz
$ tar zxvf alerta-webui.tar.gz
$ cd dist
$ python3 -m http.server 8000
>> browse to http://localhost:8000Alerta and MongoDB can also run using Docker containers, see alerta/docker-alerta.
To configure the alertad server override the default settings in /etc/alertad.conf
or using ALERTA_SVR_CONF_FILE environment variable::
$ ALERTA_SVR_CONF_FILE=~/.alertad.conf
$ echo "DEBUG=True" > $ALERTA_SVR_CONF_FILEMore information on configuration and other aspects of alerta can be found at http://docs.alerta.io
To run in development mode, listening on port 5000:
$ export FLASK_APP=alerta FLASK_DEBUG=1
$ pip install -e .
$ flask runTo run in development mode, listening on port 8080, using Postgres and reporting errors to Sentry:
$ export FLASK_APP=alerta FLASK_DEBUG=1
$ export DATABASE_URL=postgres://localhost:5432/alerta5
$ export SENTRY_DSN=https://8b56098250544fb78b9578d8af2a7e13:[email protected]/153768
$ pip install -e .[postgres]
$ flask run --debugger --port 8080 --with-threads --reloadEnable debug log output by setting DEBUG=True in the API server
configuration:
DEBUG=True
LOG_HANDLERS = ['console','file']
LOG_FORMAT = 'verbose'
LOG_FILE = '$HOME/alertad.log'It can also be helpful to check the web browser developer console for JavaScript logging, network problems and API error responses.
To run the all the tests there must be a local Postgres and MongoDB database running. Then run:
$ TOXENV=ALL make testTo just run the Postgres or MongoDB tests run:
$ TOXENV=postgres make test
$ TOXENV=mongodb make testTo run a single test run something like:
$ TOXENV="mongodb -- tests/test_search.py::QueryParserTestCase::test_boolean_operators" make test
$ TOXENV="postgres -- tests/test_queryparser.py::PostgresQueryTestCase::test_boolean_operators" make testAlerta can be deployed to the cloud easily using Heroku https://github.com/alerta/heroku-api-alerta, AWS EC2 https://github.com/alerta/alerta-cloudformation, or Google Cloud Platform https://github.com/alerta/gcloud-api-alerta
