docker-alpine-alerta

Alerta monitoring tool for consolidated view of alerts complete with MongoDB linked.

Building

The container as such is not available via Dockerhub. Please build it yourself via:

git clone https://github.com/mytaxi/docker-alpine-alerta.git
cd docker-alpine-alerta
docker build --rm -t alpine-alerta .

Starting the containers

The repo provides a docker-compose.yml file which can be used to start the whole stack.

Configuration

To allow users to login using Google OAuth, go to the Google Developer Console and create a new client ID for a web application. Then set the CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET environment variables in the docker-compose.yml

Also enter one or more admin users in the alertad.conf.sh`

Command-line Tool

A command-line tool for alerta is available. To install it run:

$ pip install alerta

Configuration file $HOME/.alerta.conf:

[DEFAULT]
endpoint = http://<docker>:<port>/api

If authentication is enabled (ie. AUTH_REQUIRED is True), then create a new API key in the alerta console and add the key to the configuration file. For example:

[DEFAULT]
endpoint = ...
key = 4nHAAslsGjLQ9P0QxmAlKIapLTSDfEfMDSy8BT+0
