Alerts and Notifications Documentation Overview

Introduction

This documentation provides an overview of how to configure alerts and notifications in the system. Alerts are essential for monitoring system health, performance, and security, while notifications ensure that relevant stakeholders are informed in a timely manner. This guide walks through configuring different types of alerts across various components of the infrastructure.

Alerts and Recommended Actions

This section outlines the alert rules for our data platform, which can be broadly categorized into four main systems:

1. Infrastructure

2. Ingestion System

3. Processing System

4. Storage System

Alerts Notifications

This section discusses how to configure the system to send alerts to relevant parties. It includes setting up notification channels (email, SMS, or third-party integrations) and managing the frequency and content of notifications to ensure that stakeholders are informed without being overwhelmed by unnecessary alerts.

Alerts Modification

This section briefly explains how we can change existing alerts and set up new ones using system metrics.

1. Alerts Modification

We can adjust current alerts by changing their urgency, trigger points, who gets notified, and the troubleshooting steps. This keeps our alerts relevant and useful.

1. Configuring New Alerts

We can also create new alerts by choosing what to monitor (metrics), deciding when to get alerted (thresholds), documenting why it happened and what to do, and specifying who should receive the alert. This helps us catch new issues early.
