ntfy-alertmanager

A bridge between ntfy and Alertmanager.

Installation

Simply use go build or the docker image with docker-compose file. ntfy-alertmanager:latest is built from the latest tagged release while ntfy-alertmanager:dev is built from the master branch.

Configuration

You can specify the configuration file location with the --config flag. By default the configuration file will be read from /etc/ntfy-alertmanager/config. The format of this file is scfg.

ntfy-alertmanager has support for setting ntfy priority, tags, icon, action buttons (which can be used to create an Alertmanager silence), email notifications and phone calls. Define a decreasing order of labels in the config file and map those labels to tags, priority, an icon or an email address.

• For priority and icon the first found value will be chosen. An icon for "resolved" alerts will take precedence.
• Tags are added together.

Example:

# Public facing base URL of the service (e.g. https://ntfy-alertmanager.xenrox.net)
# This setting is required for the "Silence" feature.
base-url https://ntfy-alertmanager.xenrox.net
# http listen address
http-address :8080
# Log level (either debug, info, warning, error)
log-level info
# When multiple alerts are grouped together by Alertmanager, they can either be sent
# each on their own (single mode) or be kept together (multi mode) (either single or multi; default is multi)
alert-mode single
# Optionally protect with HTTP basic authentication
user webhookUser
password webhookPass

labels {
    order "severity,instance"

    severity "critical" {
        priority 5
        tags "rotating_light"
        icon "https://foo.com/critical.png"
        # Forward messages which severity "critical" to the specified email address.
        email-address foo@bar.com
        # Call the specified number. Use `yes` to pick the first of your verified numbers.
        call yes
    }

    severity "info" {
        priority 1
    }

    instance "example.com" {
        tags "computer,example"
    }
}

# Settings for resolved alerts
resolved {
    tags "resolved,partying_face"
    icon "https://foo.com/resolved.png"
}

alertmanager {
    # If set, the ntfy message will contain a "Silence" button, which can be used
    # to create a silence via the Alertmanager API. Because of limitations in ntfy,
    # the request will be proxied through ntfy-alertmanager. Therefore ntfy-alertmanager
    # needs to be exposed to external network requests and base-url has to be set.
    #
    # When alert-mode is set to "single" all alert labels will be used to create the silence.
    # When it is "multi" common labels between all the alerts will be used. WARNING: This
    # could silence unwanted alerts.

}

# When the alert-mode is set to single, ntfy-alertmanager will cache each single alert
# to avoid sending recurrences.
cache {
    # The type of cache that will be used (either disabled, memory or redis; default is disabled).
