Alerta monitoring system and console

The alerta monitoring tool was developed with the following aims in mind:

• distributed and de-coupled so that it is SCALABLE
• minimal CONFIGURATION that easily accepts alerts from any source
• quick at-a-glance VISUALISATION with drill-down to detail

More screenshots are available here

Installation

The backend components are written in Python and the web frontend in JavaScript so there is nothing to compile.

Requirements

• ActiveMQ or RabbitMQ ie. a message broker that supports STOMP
• MongoDB

Optional (for alert history)

• elasticsearch
• Kibana

Note: None of these packages require special configuration to work with Alerta.
