IntegrationsAlert Manager

Alert Manager

ScaleOps seamlessly integrates with Alertmanager to provide comprehensive monitoring of cluster metrics, system events, and resource utilization patterns.

Enable Alertmanager Integration

Add the following helm values to your helm values.yml file.

Option 1 — host shorthand (accepts a hostname string):

prometheus:
  alerts:
    enabled: true
    host: myalertmanager.com

Option 2 — alertmanagers object (alertmanagers accepts a full Prometheus AlertmanagerConfig object. Use this instead of host when you need more than a bare hostname — for example, multiple targets, TLS, or auth):

prometheus:
  alerts:
    enabled: true
    alertmanagers:
      - static_configs:
          - targets:
              - alertmanager:9093

Note: host is a convenience shorthand that only accepts a plain hostname string. alertmanagers accepts a full Prometheus AlertmanagerConfig object. Do not pass a plain URL string (e.g. - http://my-alertmanager:9093) under alertmanagers — Prometheus will crash on startup.

Built-in Alerts

ScaleOps offers a comprehensive set of built-in alerts that you can selectively enable or disable based on your monitoring needs.

Custom Alert Rules (additionalRules)

Use additionalRules to add your own Prometheus alert rules alongside the built-in ones. Provide a flat list of alert rule objects (not Prometheus-native rule group syntax with name, interval, rules nesting).

prometheus:
  alerts:
    enabled: true
    additionalRules:
      - alert: MyCustomAlert
        expr: my_metric > 0
        for: 10m
        keep_firing_for: 5m       # optional
        labels:                   # optional
          severity: warning
        annotations:
          summary: "My alert summary"
          description: "More detail here"
