Summary
Introduce proactive network alerting so operators are notified when connectivity, node health, or security-relevant conditions change - before users report issues.
Goals
- Detect and notify on important network events (e.g. node offline, gateway degradation, ACL/policy violations, unusual connectivity)
- Support configurable alert rules and notification channels
- Complement existing SIEM export with actionable, near-real-time operator alerts
- Improve MTTR for network and access incidents
Scope (initial)
- Alert rule definitions (thresholds, conditions, severity)
- Core event types: node status, gateway health, connectivity failures, security events
- Notification integrations (e.g. email, webhook; optionally Slack/Teams)
- Alert history and acknowledgment in the UI/API
Success criteria
- Admins can define and enable alert rules per network/tenant
- Alerts fire reliably for configured conditions
- Notifications are delivered to configured channels with enough context to act
