Alerting rules

Mia-Platform PaaS Monitoring defines a set of alerting rules by default. Currently, you cannot add custom alerting rules.

These rules refer to AlertManager, Kafka, Kubernetes cluster, and Prometheus. Each rule has one the following 3 severity levels:

  1. Info: An informative message. No action is required;
  2. Warning: Action must be taken to prevent a severe error from occurring in the near future;
  3. Critical: A severe error that might cause the loss or corruption of unsaved data. Immediate action must be taken to prevent losing data.

Below there is a list with all the alerts that you may receive. For each alert you will find a brief description and its severity level.

AlertManager

AlertDescriptionSeverity
AlertmanagerClusterCrashloopingHalf or more of the Alertmanager instances within the same cluster are crashlooping. Alerts could be notified multiple time unless pods are crashing too fast and no alerts can be sent.critical
AlertmanagerClusterDownHalf or more of the Alertmanager instances within the same cluster are down.critical
AlertmanagerClusterFailedToSendAlertsAll Alertmanager instances in a cluster failed to send notifications to a critical integration.warning
AlertmanagerConfigInconsistentThe configuration of the instances of the Alertmanager cluster namespace/services are out of sync.critical
AlertmanagerFailedReloadReloading Alertmanager's configuration has failed for namespace/pods.critical
AlertmanagerFailedToSendAlertsAt least one instance is unable to routed alert to the corresponding integration.warning
AlertmanagerMembersInconsistentAlertmanager has not found all other members of the cluster.critical
