SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires psutil, PyYAML, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Real-time alerting and notification management for Univers infrastructure. It enables operators to monitor system health, service status, and receive proactive alerts when thresholds are exceeded or services fail.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Real-time Monitoring: monitor system resources (CPU, memory, disk, network), service health checks, and application metrics.
  • Alert Engine & Channels: threshold-based alerting, rate limiting, escalation policies, and multi-channel notifications (email, Slack/Teams, webhooks).
  • Alert Management & Dashboards: acknowledgments, history, and dashboards for trend analysis and health overview.

Quick Start

Set up a basic alert rule to notify on CPU usage above a threshold and start monitoring to receive real-time alerts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up threshold-based alerting for system metrics like CPU and memory?

You can automate real-time alerting for infrastructure metrics by defining YAML-based rules. The policy-driven engine evaluates thresholds for CPU and memory, triggering multi-channel notifications when limits are exceeded.

What notification channels are supported for incident management alerts?

Incident management alerts support multiple notification channels including email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and webhooks. This ensures operators receive proactive service health alerts across their preferred communication platforms.

Can I schedule maintenance windows to pause alerts during planned downtime?

Yes, the alerting system supports maintenance windows to suppress notifications during planned downtime. This prevents false alarms by temporarily pausing threshold-based alerts and service health checks for specified periods.

Does the monitoring engine support escalation policies for unacknowledged alerts?

The monitoring engine supports escalation policies to route unacknowledged alerts to higher notification tiers. It also includes rate limiting to prevent alert fatigue and maintains alert history with acknowledgments for effective incident management.

Do I need PyYAML and psutil to run real-time service health checks?

Yes, psutil and PyYAML are required dependencies. Psutil enables real-time monitoring of system resources like disk and network, while PyYAML parses the policy-driven rules defining service health checks and alert thresholds.

What is the best way to visualize alert history and system health trends?

The best way to visualize alert history and system health trends is through built-in dashboards. These dashboards provide a health overview and support trend analysis by maintaining a comprehensive history of alerts and acknowledgments.
