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

Installation
------------
The backend components are written in Python and the web frontend in JavaScript so there is nothing to compile.
Requirements
------------
- [ActiveMQ][1] or [RabbitMQ][2] ie. a message broker that supports STOMP
- [MongoDB][3]
Optional (for alert history)
--------
- [elasticsearch][4]
- [Kibana][5]
> Note: None of these packages require special configuration to work with Alerta.
More Information
----------------
See the alerta [wiki][6]
