The Alerta monitoring tool was developed with the following aims in mind:
distributed and de-coupled so that it is SCALABLE
minimal CONFIGURATION that easily accepts alerts from any source
quick at-a-glance VISUALISATION with drill-down to detail

Requirements
The only mandatory dependency is MongoDB. Everything else is optional.
MongoDB version 3.x
Optional
A messaging transport that supports AMQP is required if it is wanted to send notifications to alert subscribers. It is recommended to use RabbitMQ, but Redis and even MongoDB have been tested and shown to work.
RabbitMQ
Redis
MongoDB
Note: The default settings use MongoDB so that no additional configuration is required.

To install MongoDB on Debian/Ubuntu run:
$ sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org $ mongod
