Alert Integration

Understand which alerting systems Lenses can send alerts to.

Alert Connections

To send alerts, you first need to tell each Lenses agent when it can send alerts to, these are alert connections, defined in the provisioning file.

You can integrate and send alerts to:

1. AWS Cloud Watch

2. Datadog

3. Pager Duty

4. Prometheus Alert Manager

5. Slack

6. Webhooks

   1. Email

   2. MS Teams

   3. SMS

You can configure the provisioning file by selecting Environments & Topics option from the left sidebar, expand the environment node and select the the Configuration node. You can then edit, test and apply the provisioning file againts the connected agent.

Alert Channels

Once you have alert connections configured, you can then create alert channels. Channels form the link to the connection, you can create multiple channels per connection, for example you have a connection to Slack but send different types of alerts to different Slack channels.

Select the Environments & Topics option from the left sidebar, expand the environment node you are interested in and select the Alerts node, this will open the listing of alerts.

Select the channels sub tab so view existing channels. You can either then edit the channel or create a new channel.

Alerts are always stored in Lenses even if you don't send them out to an external alerting system.
