alertmanager-gchat-integration

Description

The application provides a Webhook integration for Prometheus AlertManager to push alerts to Google Chat rooms.

The application expects a config.toml file like this:

[app.notification]
# Helpful to indicate the origin of the message. Default to HOSTNAME.
# origin = "custom-origin"

# Optional Jinja2 custom template to print message to GChat.
# custom_template_path = "<file>.json.j2"

# Optional true to send the message as a Gchat card
# use_cards = true

[app.room.<room-name>]
notification_url = "https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/spaces/<space-id>/messages?key=<key>&token=<token>&threadKey=<threadId>"

The file may be:

• Located in the current directory and named config.toml.
• Placed in the directory of your choice with CONFIG_FILE_LOCATION environment variable set.

Also, the application provides a built-in template for GChat notification located here. If you wish to customize it, create a custom version and use app.notification.custom_template_path.

By default, the message will be sent as a basic message. If you wish to use cards set app.notification.use_cards to true.

When the application is started, the following endpoints are available:

• /alerts?room=<room-name> : Endpoint used by AlertManager to send messages to GChat. The room-name should match the value indicated in the config.toml file. HTTP expected methods are: POST.
• /healthz : return 200 OK if the service is running. HTTP expected methods are: GET.
• /metrics : return Prometheus metrics regarding HTTP requests. HTTP expected methods are: GET.
