Configuration

See sample.config.yaml for configuration options.

  • OPEN_ALERTS_FILE - Path to local file used for persisting open alerts

Alert Thresholds

• Alert thresholds apply to ZendutyEvent and TelegramEvent (resolution only applies to zenduty)
• Checks run approximately once per minute.
• These thresholds can be overridden per check type in config.yaml
  • alert_threshold: number of failures in 5 minutes >= to this value trigger an alert (default: 5)
  • resolution_threshold: number of failures in 5 minutes <= this value resolve the alert (default: 3)

Finding the Telegram Group Chat ID

To integrate Telegram events with the Observer, you need the Telegram group chat ID. Here's how you can find it:

1. Open Telegram Web.
2. Navigate to the group chat for which you need the ID.
3. Look at the URL in the browser's address bar; it should look something like https://web.telegram.org/a/#-1111111111.
4. The group chat ID is the number in the URL, including the - sign if present (e.g., -1111111111).

Use this ID in the publishers.yaml configuration to correctly set up Telegram events.
