This is the Alertmanager bot for
Prometheus that notifies you on alerts.
Just configure the Alertmanager to send Webhooks to the bot and that's it.
Additionally you can always send commands to get up-to-date information from the alertmanager.
Alertmanager already integrates a lot of different messengers as receivers for alerts.
I want to extend this basic functionality.
Previously the Alertmanager could only talk to you via a chat, but now you can talk back via commands.
You can ask about current ongoing alerts and silences.
In the future I plan to also support silencing via the chat, so you can silences after getting an alert from within the chat.
A lot of other things can be added!
Right now it supports Telegram, but I'd like to add more in the future.
Hey, Matthias! I will now keep you up to date!

Alright, Matthias! I won't talk to you again.

docker pull metalmatze/alertmanager-bot:0.4.0
Start as a command:
docker run -d \
-e 'ALERTMANAGER_URL=http://alertmanager:9093' \
-e 'BOLT_PATH=/data/bot.db' \
-e 'STORE=bolt' \
-e 'TELEGRAM_ADMIN=1234567' \
-e 'TELEGRAM_TOKEN=XXX' \
-v '/srv/monitoring/alertmanager-bot:/data'
--name alertmanager-bot \
alertmanager-bot:0.4.0
docker run -d \
-e 'ALERTMANAGER_URL=http://alertmanager:9093' \
-e 'CONSUL_URL=localhost:8500' \
-e 'STORE=consul' \
-e 'TELEGRAM_ADMIN=1234567' \
-e 'TELEGRAM_TOKEN=XXX' \
--name alertmanager-bot \
alertmanager-bot:0.4.0
Usage within docker-compose:
alertmanager-bot:
image: metalmatze/alertmanager-bot:0.4.0
environment:
ALERTMANAGER_URL: http://alertmanager:9093
BOLT_PATH: /data/bot.db
STORE: bolt
TELEGRAM_ADMIN: '1234567'
TELEGRAM_TOKEN: XXX
TEMPLATE_PATHS: /templates/default.tmpl
volumes:
- /srv/monitoring/alertmanager-bot:/data
go get github.com/metalmatze/alertmanager-bot
ENV Variable | Description |
---|---|
ALERTMANAGER_URL | Address of the alertmanager, default: http://localhost:9093 |
BOLT_PATH | Path on disk to the file where the boltdb is stored, default: /tmp/bot.db |
CONSUL_URL | The URL to use to connect with Consul, default: localhost:8500 |
LISTEN_ADDR | Address that the bot listens for webhooks, default: 0.0.0.0:8080 |
STORE | The type of the store to use, choose from bolt (local) or consul (distributed) |
TELEGRAM_ADMIN | The Telegram user id for the admin. The bot will only reply to messages sent from an admin. All other messages are dropped and logged on the bot's console. |
TELEGRAM_TOKEN | Token you get from @botfather |
TEMPLATE_PATHS | Path to custom message templates, default template is ./default.tmpl , in docker - /templates/default.tmpl |
Additional users may be allowed to command the bot by giving multiple instances
of the --telegram.admin
command line option or by specifying a
newline-separated list of telegram user IDs in the TELEGRAM_ADMIN
environment
variable.
- TELEGRAM_ADMIN="**********\n************"
--telegram.admin=1 --telegram.admin=2
Now you need to connect the Alertmanager to send alerts to the bot.
A webhook is used for that, so make sure your LISTEN_ADDR
is reachable for the Alertmanager.
For example add this to your alertmanager.yml
configuration:
receivers:
- name: 'alertmananger-bot'
webhook_configs:
- send_resolved: true
url: 'http://alertmanager-bot:8080'
Get all dependencies. We use golang/dep.
Fetch all dependencies with:
dep ensure -v -vendor-only
Build the binary using make
:
make install
In case you have $GOPATH/bin
in your $PATH
you can now simply start the bot by running:
alertmanager-bot
/silence
- show a specific silence/silence_del
- delete a silence by command/silence_add
- add a silence for a alert by command
At the moment I only implemented Telegram, because it's so freakin' easy to do.
Messengers considered to add in the future:
If one is missing for you just open an issue.
