A proxy to forward messages received via HTTP to MESHTASTIC

Alertmanager webhook for meshtastic

This little Adapter receives alertmanager webhooks and sends the notifications via a over serial attached Meshtastic device to the specified nodeID.

Warning Caution: The Tests that are provided for the code in this repository are not currently updated! Also this is a quickly hacked together peace of software, that has not built any security in it at the moment. Also the way that the ack is checked is not optimal, so messages tend to take longer to get to the device, but are delivered for sure(maybe multiple times). If you have the skill and the time to contribute in any way, take a look at the Contribution section

Credits

This is based on the work of https://github.com/homeworkprod/weitersager Thanks to GUVWAF for the support and thanks to the whole meshtastic team for this awsome software!

Alertmanager configuration example

	receivers:
	- name: 'meshtastic-webhook'
	  webhook_configs:
	  - url: http://alertmanager-meshtastic:9119/alert
	    send_resolved: true

config.toml example

This is an example config, that shows all of the config options.

log_level = "debug"

[http]
host = "0.0.0.0"
port = 9119

[meshtastic.connection]
tty = "/tmp/vcom0"
nodeid = 631724152
maxsendingattempts = 30
timeout = 60

docker compose service example - Hardware Serial (default)

To integrate this bridge into your composed prometheus/alertmanager cluster, this is a good startingpoint. If you plan to use a virtual serial port that is provided with socat (for example /tmp/vcom0), you have to use a volume mount instead of the device binding:

    alertmanagermeshtastic:
      image: apfelwurm/alertmanagermeshtastic
      ports:
        - 9119:9119
      volumes:
        - /tmp/vcom0:/tmp/vcom0
        - ./alertmanager-meshtastic/config.toml:/app/config.toml
      restart: always

Contribution

This is currently a minimal implementation that supports only a single node as a receiver. If you need additional features, you are welcome to open an issue, or even better, submit a pull request. You can also take a look on the opened Issues, where i have opened some for planned features and work on them if you want. I would appreciate any help.

Example to test

You can use the test.sh or the test single.sh or the following curl command to test alertmanager-meshtastic
