Alerta - Pinja Azure monitor

Modified version to support better formatting and common alert schema based on https://github.com/alerta/alerta-contrib/tree/master/webhooks/azuremonitor.

Features:

• Accepts alerts using azureMonitorCommonAlertSchema in azure web hooks.
• Parse any link in description as clickable link.
• Parse link from alert to azure portal which gives easy access to original alert and resources.

pip install git+https://github.com/by-pinja/alerta-azure-webhook.git#subdirectory=webhook

You can add certain additional parameters to webhooks for additional information that isn't available in common alert schema payload.

For example http://localhost:8080/api/webhooks/pinjaazuremonitor?api-key=apikeyhere&service=my-best-service&environment=Staging

• Service: service
• Environment: environment (defaults to 'Production').
• Runbook: runbook_url, add custom link to runbook with alerts.

Requirements for development

Repository contains development container that can be used with VScode remote container development.

If you prefer not to use container based development see details what is required for environment from ./devcontainer folder.

In development container with VSCode just run F5 and it will execute tests which you can use to further develop and debug webhook code.

Spinning instance for testing

If you have docker and docker-compose installed you can test alerta with this web hook easilyt. To start alerta that contains webhook installed for testing simply run:

docker-compose up --build

And then you navigate to http://localhost:8080 and login with [email protected]/alerta. Get ApiKey from settings and use it to send new alert via azure monitoring web hook:

./scripts/SendAlert -ApiKey YourApiKeyHere -Condition Fired

Now you should see new alert in alerta at http://localhost:8080.
