Early issue detecting and prevention, ensuring high availability, and performance optimization are only a few of the reasons why alerting plays a major role for modern applications, databases, and services.
There are a variety of different alerting solutions you can use in conjunction with $CLOUD_LONG that are part of the $PG ecosystem. Regardless of whether you are creating custom alerts embedded in your applications, or using third-party alerting tools to monitor event data across your organization, there are a wide selection of tools available.
Grafana is a great way to visualize your analytical queries, and it has a first-class integration with $COMPANY products. Beyond data visualization, Grafana also provides alerting functionality to keep you notified of anomalies.
Within Grafana, you can define alert rules which are time-based thresholds for your dashboard data (for example, "Average CPU usage greater than 80 percent for 5 minutes"). When those alert rules are triggered, Grafana sends a message via the chosen notification channel. Grafana provides integration with webhooks, email and more than a dozen external services including Slack and PagerDuty.
To get started, first download and install Grafana. Next, add a new $PG data source that points to your $SERVICE_LONG. This data source was built by $COMPANY engineers, and it is designed to take advantage of the database's time-series capabilities. From there, proceed to your dashboard and set up alert rules as described above.
Alerting is only available in Grafana v4.0 and later.
$CLOUD_LONG works with a variety of alerting tools within the $PG ecosystem. Users can use these tools to set up notifications about meaningful events that signify notable changes to the system.
