Alerta alerts

Send kwatch incident alerts to Alerta. Use the interactive manager for installation and credential setup. This page explains the provider fields and shows a minimal configuration fragment.

Before you start, have these values ready:

• url — Alerta server URL.
• apiKey — API key.

Credentials, tokens, keys, passwords, and webhook URLs must be mounted from a Kubernetes Secret. Use an exact ${file:/absolute/path} reference for every field marked Secret.

Configuration

Field	Type	Required	Secret	Validation	Default	Description
url	string	yes	no	url	—	Alerta server URL
apiKey	string	yes	yes	—	—	API key
environment	string	no	no	—	Production	Environment (default: Production)
service	string	no	no	—	kwatch	Service name (default: kwatch)
routes	json	no	no	json	—	Optional JSON route filters.
retry.maxAttempts	integer	no	no	integer	—	Optional maximum retry attempts.
retry.delay	string	no	no	—	—	Optional retry delay, for example 5s.

Minimal example

  alerta:

Add routes, retry, and fallback when you need delivery filtering or recovery. See the channels overview for guidance, or the complete provider reference for the catalog-wide view.
