ilert integrates with Netdata to provide real-time actionable alerts, enabling fast response and resolution via multiple notification channels.

Netdata Integration

Netdata is a high-performance, open-source monitoring tool that provides real-time insights into system and application metrics. It allows users to track and visualize performance data across distributed systems with minimal resource overhead. Pairing Netdata with ilert’s incident management platform enhances the monitoring experience by adding powerful alerting and incident response capabilities. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to connect Netdata with ilert.

In ilert: Create a Netdata alert source

  1. Go to Alert sources -> Alert sources and click Create new alert source.

  2. Search for Netdata in the search field, click the Netdata tile, and then Next.

  3. Give your alert source a name, optionally assign teams, and click Next.

  4. Select an escalation policy by creating a new one or assigning an existing one.

  5. Select your Alert grouping preference and click Continue setup. You may click Do not group alerts for now and change it later.

  6. The next page shows additional settings, such as customer alert templates or notification priority. Click Finish setup for now.

  7. On the final page, an API key and/or webhook URL will be generated. You will need it later.

In Netdata: Configure Agent Dispatched Notification

  1. Edit following configuration file: health_alarm_notify.conf
  2. Open the terminal and enter following:
cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
sudo ./edit-config health_alarm_notify.conf
  1. Insert the previous created alertsource URL as value for ILERT_ALERT_SOURCE_URL
  2. Example:
SEND_ILERT="YES"
ILERT_ALERT_SOURCE_URL="https://api.ilert.com/api/v1/events/netdata/{API-KEY}"
