Custom backends example
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
Provided example consists of a database backend based on standard PostgreSQL backend.
|
|
|
|
It has a very basic functionality, adding an attribute to the alert before storing it
|
|
in the database. This functionality can be achieved using plugins, it is just an example.
|
|
|
|
Custom backends must provide a class named 'Backend' that implements `alerta.database.base.Backend`.
|
|
|
|
The module providing that class must be referenced as an 'alerta.database.backends' entry-point in
|
|
python package setup.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
...
|
|
entry_points={
|
|
'alerta.database.backends': [
|
|
'custom = package'
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To use the custom database backend, the name used for the entry-point has to be used as schema in
|
|
`DATABASE_URL` configuration setting:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
DATABASE_URL = "custom://user@db_server/monitoring?connect_timeout=10&application_name=alerta"
|
|
```
