GoAlert alerts
Send kwatch incident alerts to GoAlert. 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:
token— API token.serviceId— Service ID.
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
