#promalerter

This is a simple program which listens for prometheus webhooks and forwards the alert to a customizable command. It spawns the configured command and copies the alert to the command's stdin stream.

#Examples of suitable programs

• mnotify: Send alerts to Matrix rooms.
• sendmail: The classic server side email interface.

#Config

The config lives at ~/.config/promalerter/config.toml and accepts the following settings:

• Command (string): The command to execute for each alert. If it's empty promalerter prints to stdout.
• ListenAddress (string): The address and port to listen on. Default: 127.0.0.1:5001.
• Template (string): A go text template. The passed data structure is a prometheus alert data.
• Shell (string): The shell to use for the command. Set to "" to disable the spawning of a shell. Default is /bin/sh.
