Creating an Alert Rule

1. Navigate to Settings → Alert Notifications
2. Click Create Alert Rule
3. Configure your alert

Alert Configuration

Channel Setup

For Discord/Slack:

• Enter your webhook URL
• Learn how to create a Discord webhook
• Learn how to create a Slack webhook

For Telegram:

• Enter your Bot Token (from @BotFather)
• Enter your Chat ID (your user ID or group ID)

Trigger Conditions

Define when alerts should fire:

• Log Level - Choose which levels trigger alerts (error, warn, fatal)
• Service - Filter by specific service name
• Message Pattern - Use regex to match specific error messages

Cooldown

Set a cooldown period to prevent alert spam. The system won't send another alert until the cooldown expires (in minutes).

Testing Your Alerts

Once configured, test your alert to verify it works:

1. Find your alert rule on the Alerts page
2. Click the Test button
3. Check your Discord/Slack/Telegram for the test message

Managing Alerts

Enable/Disable

Toggle alerts on or off without deleting the configuration.

Edit

Modify alert settings at any time. If you need to update credentials, just re-enter them.

Delete

Remove alerts you no longer need.

Example Use Cases

Critical Errors Only

Log Level: error, fatal
Cooldown: 15 minutes

Service-Specific Alerts

Service: auth
Log Level: error
Message Pattern: (authentication|login|jwt)

Development Notifications

Service: api
Cooldown: 5 minutes

Best Practices

1. Start with error/fatal - Don't overwhelm yourself with warnings initially
2. Set appropriate cooldown - 5-15 minutes is usually good
3. Use service filters - Alert on critical services first
4. Test before relying on it - Always test your alerts after setup
