Basic Alerting

For a customer we need a quick / basic approach for alerting.

Design decisions for a very basic alerting:
Source:

• alerting shall be generic to any metric (even metrics that are not collected by inspectIT e.g. collectd)

• all data, the alerting shall work on must be in influxDB

Definition:

• alerts shall be sent if a threshold is exceeded by any single measurement

• Time range (interval) of checking the metrics

Action:

• for now only e-mail notification

• for a series of subsequent intervals in which the threshold is exceeded an e-mail is only sent for the first and the last interval (start and end).

Step:

• DTO Objects (XML files)

• Services for UI - CMR configuration

• extend InfluxDAO for querying

• Alerting Component (responsible for the scheduled checks)

• UI

  • config of e-mail server (CMR properties)

  • additional view for configuring alerts
