Alerting & Notifications
Bleemeo monitors your infrastructure continuously and alerts you when something goes wrong. The alerting system is designed to be flexible yet simple to configure, ensuring you get notified about the issues that matter.
How Alerting Works
Section titled “How Alerting Works”When Bleemeo detects an issue, it follows this flow:
- Detection: A metric crosses a threshold or a service becomes unavailable
- Event Creation: An event is recorded with details about the issue
- Notification: Alerts are sent through your configured channels
- Resolution: When the issue is resolved, a recovery notification is sent
Key Components
Section titled “Key Components”Events
Section titled “Events”Events are records of what happened in your infrastructure. Every time a threshold is crossed or a service status changes, an event is created. Events provide a historical log of all incidents.
Notifications
Section titled “Notifications”Notifications define the rules for when and how you get alerted. You can configure:
- Which metrics or services trigger alerts
- Threshold levels (warning and critical)
- Who gets notified
- How notifications are delivered
Notification Targets
Section titled “Notification Targets”Notification targets are the destinations where alerts are sent. Bleemeo supports many channels:
- SMS
- Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord
- PagerDuty, OpsGenie
- Webhooks for custom integrations
- And many more
Contacts & Groups
Section titled “Contacts & Groups”Organize your team with contact groups. Group people by role, team, or responsibility to easily manage who receives which alerts.
Server Groups
Section titled “Server Groups”Server groups let you organize your infrastructure and apply different thresholds to different environments. For example, production servers might have stricter thresholds than development servers.
On-Call Scheduling
Section titled “On-Call Scheduling”With on-call management, you can create rotation schedules so the right person is always notified, even outside business hours.
Recording Rules
Section titled “Recording Rules”Recording rules let you create new metrics from existing ones using PromQL. Use them to pre-compute complex queries or create custom thresholds.
Silence
Section titled “Silence”Silences temporarily suppress notifications during planned maintenance or known issues. This prevents alert fatigue while you’re working on a fix.
Getting Started
Section titled “Getting Started”-
Set up notification targets: Configure where you want to receive alerts (Email, Slack, etc.)
-
Create contact groups: Organize your team members into groups
-
Configure notifications: Define which events trigger alerts and who receives them
-
Customize thresholds: Adjust default thresholds using server groups if needed
Default Behavior
Section titled “Default Behavior”Out of the box, Bleemeo provides sensible defaults:
- Automatic thresholds: Common metrics have pre-configured warning and critical levels
- Service monitoring: Discovered services are automatically monitored for availability
- Email notifications: Account owners receive email alerts by default
You can customize everything to match your needs, but the defaults ensure you’re protected from day one.
