Setting up notifications

Alerts

You can receive notifications when your instance is unhealthy, such as disk usage going above 75%, and health checks failing.

BugSnag should provision a collection of useful alerts by default. Configured alerts can be viewed by navigating to ‘Alerting → Alert rules’.

Grafana notification channels

Contact Points

You will need to set up contact points for your alerts to be sent to.

The grafana-default-email will by default be set to example@email.com, and will need to be changed to a real email as this contact point is used by all alerts.

Notification Policies

You will need to set up notification policies for deciding which contact points your alerts are sent to.
