Alerting

Does Cloudprober support alerting? #

Yes. Cloudprober has built-in alerting that can notify you via Email (SMTP), PagerDuty, Opsgenie, Slack, generic HTTP webhooks, or shell commands. See the Alerting guide for setup instructions.

How does alert condition work? #

Alerts are based on failure thresholds. You configure the number of failures within a window of total probes. For example, “alert if 2 out of the last 10 probes fail”:

alerting {
  alert_condition {
    failures: 2
    total: 10
  }
}

Can I customize alert messages? #

Yes. Alert notifications support templates with placeholders such as @probe@, @target@, @failures@, and @total@ that get replaced with actual values at alert time.

Do I get notified when an alert resolves? #

Yes. Cloudprober sends a resolved notification when the alert condition is no longer met, so you know when things are back to normal.
