Cluster Alerting

Alerting is part of cluster monitoring, where alert notifications are sent to the configured email or slack channel

Prerequisite

Prometheus, Grafana, and alert manager tools are needed to set up alert notifications. Install monitoring.

Slack alerts notification

  • Creating slack incoming webhook here,
  • update slack_api_url and channel in alertmanager.yaml
  • run ./install.sh to patch alertmanager.

Creating custom alerts

The monitoring package provided by rancher has various default alerting rules, most of the time the default rules are enough. Sample custom alerts are provided under custom-alerts. Modify the same and apply using kubectl

Silence/Mute alerts

  • Go to alertmanager under monitoring tab in rancher ui
  • Click on the alert -> silence, add appropriate silence duration, creator, and comment

Add cluster name to the alert

When having multiple clusters, you can add a cluster name to be presented as part of alert information. Here our cluster name is soil.

  • Add cluster name in, patch-cluster-name.yaml
  • Run install.sh
