Create an Alert

Deprecation notice

We plan to remove these original alerts in the near future in favor of the new ones. We'll let you know a few releases in advances but it will happen in this order:

  • First we are going to cover all original alerts with new alerts through the dedicated resources pages. We are missing Consumer Group today.
  • Then, we'll block the creation of original alerts while still keeping them functional.
  • Finally, we'll remove the original alerts from the product.

We'll give you in the next release changelog timelines for you to migrate your existing alerts to the new model.

Starting today, we recommend you use the new alerts for Brokers page and Topics page.

Overview​

Our alerting solution will enable you to react to Kafka infrastructure and application irregularties. Currently, we integrate with Slack and MS Teams so that you can receive real-time notifications.

If you require an additional integration, please let us know so we can consider it.

Configure the Integration​

From within Monitoring, navigagte to the Alerts tab. If you have not yet configured an integration, then follow the link to set this up as a pre-requisite.

If you have any issues with this process, please contact us through the chat box at the bottom of your window.

Option 2: From a Graph​

Alternatively, you can create an alert more dynamically when viewing a graph.

Next to each graph, you have a + button that can be used to create the alert. Once you have clicked the button, follow the steps from Option 1 to fill out the form.
