AlertNode

The alert node triggers an event of varying severity levels and passes the event to event handlers. The criteria for triggering an alert is specified via a lambda expression. See AlertNode.Info, AlertNode.Warn, and AlertNode.Crit below.

Available event handlers

Different event handlers can be configured for each AlertNode. Some handlers like Email, HipChat, Sensu, Slack, OpsGenie, VictorOps, PagerDuty, Telegram and Talk have a configuration option, global, that indicates that all alerts implicitly use the handler.

Alert event data

Each event that gets sent to a handler contains the following alert data:

Events are sent to handlers if the alert is in a state other than ‘OK’ or the alert just changed to the ‘OK’ state from a non ‘OK’ state (a.k.a. the alert recovered). Using the AlertNode.StateChangesOnly property events will only be sent to handlers if the alert changed state.

It is valid to configure multiple alert handlers, even with the same type.

Example:

stream
    .groupBy('service')
  |alert()
    .id('kapacitor/{{ index .Tags "service" }}')
    .message('{{ .ID }} is {{ .Level }} value:{{ index .Fields "value" }}')
    .info(lambda: "value" > 10)
    .warn(lambda: "value" > 20)
    .crit(lambda: "value" > 30)
    .post("http://example.com/api/alert")
    .post("http://another.example.com/api/alert")
    .tcp("exampleendpoint.com:5678")
    .email('oncall@example.com')

Each expression maintains its own state. The order of execution for the expressions is not considered to be deterministic. For each point an expression may or may not be evaluated. If no expression is true then the alert is considered to be in the OK state.

Kapacitor supports alert reset expressions. This way when an alert enters a state, it can only be lowered in severity if its reset expression evaluates to true.

Example:

stream
  |from()
    .measurement('cpu')
    .where(lambda: "host" == 'serverA')
    .groupBy('host')
  |alert()
    .info(lambda: "value" > 60)
    .infoReset(lambda: "value" < 50)
    .warn(lambda: "value" > 70)
    .warnReset(lambda: "value" < 60)
    .crit(lambda: "value" > 80)
    .critReset(lambda: "value" < 70)

For example, given the following values, the corresponding alert states are:

Available Statistics:

• alerts_triggered: Total number of alerts triggered
• oks_triggered: Number of OK alerts triggered
• infos_triggered: Number of Info alerts triggered
• warns_triggered: Number of Warn alerts triggered
• crits_triggered: Number of Crit alerts triggered

Properties

Property methods modify state on the calling node. They do not add another node to the pipeline, and always return a reference to the calling node. Property methods are marked using the . operator.

Alerta

Send the alert to Alerta. Detailed configuration options and setup instructions are provided in the Alerta Event Handler article.

Example kapacitor.conf

[alerta]
  enabled = true
  url = "https://alerta.yourdomain"
  token = "9hiWoDOZ9IbmHsOTeST123ABciWTIqXQVFDo63h9"
  environment = "Production"
  origin = "Kapacitor"

Example TICKscript

stream
  |alert()
    .alerta()
      .resource('Hostname or service')
      .event('Something went wrong')

All

Indicates an alert should trigger only if all points in a batch match the criteria. Does not apply to stream alerts.

alert.all()

BigPanda

Send the alert to BigPanda. Detailed configuration options and setup instructions are provided in the BigPanda Event Handler article.

Example kapacitor.conf

[bigpanda]
  enabled = true
  url = "https://api.bigpanda.io/data/v2/alerts"
  token = "BigPanda-API-auth-bearer-token"
  app-key = "BigPanda-integration-app-key"

Example TICKscript

stream
  |alert()
    .bigPanda()
      .appKey('fc39458f98e91eb0310258c3b725d643')
      .primaryProperty('device')
      .secondaryProperty('sensor_name')
      .topic('bigpanda-topic')

Category

Category places this alert in a named category. Categories are used to inhibit alerts.

alert.category(value string)

Crit

Filter expression for the CRITICAL alert level. An empty value indicates the level is invalid and is skipped.

alert.crit(value ast.LambdaNode)

CritReset

Filter expression for resetting the CRITICAL alert level to lower level.

alert.critReset(value ast.LambdaNode)

Details

Template for constructing a detailed HTML message for the alert. The same template data is available as the AlertNode.Message property, in addition to a Message field that contains the rendered Message value.

The intent is that the Message property be a single line summary while the Details property is a more detailed message possibly spanning multiple lines, and containing HTML formatting.

This template is rendered using the html/template package in Go so safe and valid HTML is generated.

The json method is available within the template to convert any variable to a valid JSON string.

xExample:

|alert()
  .id('{{ .Name }}')
  .details('''
<h1>{{ .ID }}</h1>
<b>{{ .Message }}</b>
Value: {{ index .Fields "value" }}
''')
  .email()

Default: {{ json . }}

alert.details(value string)

Discord

Send the alert to Discord. Detailed configuration options and setup instructions are provided in the Discord Event Handler article.

Example kapacitor.conf

[discord]
  enabled = true
  url = "https://discordapp.com/api/webhooks/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

Example TICKscript

stream
  |alert()
    .discord()
      .embedTitle('Alert!')

DurationField

Optional field key to add the alert duration to the data. The duration is always in units of nanoseconds.

alert.durationField(value string)

Email

Email the alert data to specified “To” email addresses. Detailed configuration options and setup instructions are provided in the Email Event Handler article.

Example kapacitor.conf

[smtp]
  enabled = true
  host = "localhost"
  port = 25
  username = "xxxx"
  password = "xxxx"
  from = "kapacitor@example.com"
  to = ["oncall@example.com"]
  global = true
  state-changes-only = true

Example TICKscript

|alert()
  .id('{{ .Name }}')
  // Email subject
  .message('{{ .ID }}:{{ .Level }}')
  // Email body as HTML
  .details('''
<h1>{{ .ID }}</h1>
<b>{{ .Message }}</b>
Value: {{ index .Fields "value" }}
''')
  .email()

Exec

Execute a command whenever an alert is triggered and pass the alert data over STDIN in JSON format. Detailed usage instructions and examples are provided in the Exec Event Handler article.

// Pattern
alert.exec(executable string, args ...string)

// Example
alert.exec('/usr/bin/python', 'myscript.py')

Flapping

Perform flap detection on the alerts. The method used is similar method to Nagios flapping

Each different alerting level is considered a different state. The low and high thresholds are inverted thresholds of a percentage of state changes. Meaning that if the percentage of state changes goes above the high threshold, the alert enters a flapping state. The alert remains in the flapping state until the percentage of state changes goes below the low threshold. Typical values are low: 0.25 and high: 0.5. The percentage values represent the number state changes over the total possible number of state changes. A percentage change of 0.5 means that the alert changed state in half of the recorded history, and remained the same in the other half of the history.

// Pattern
alert.flapping(low float64, high float64)

// Example
alert.flapping(0.25, 0.5)

Kafka

Send the alert to an Apache Kafka cluster. Detailed configuration options and setup instructions are provided in the Kafka Event Handler article.

Example kapacitor.conf

[[kafka]]
  enabled = true
  id = "localhost"
  timeout = 10s

Example TICKscript

stream
  |alert()
    .kafka()
      .cluster('kafka-cluster')
      .kafkaTopic('kafka-topic-name')

History

Number of previous states to remember when computing flapping levels and checking for state changes. Minimum value is 2 in order to keep track of current and previous states.

Default: 21

// Pattern
alert.history(value int64)

// Example
alert.history(21)

HipChat

Send the alert to HipChat. Detailed configuration options and setup instructions are provided in the HipChat Event Handler article.

Example kapacitor.conf

[hipchat]
  enabled = true
  url = "https://orgname.hipchat.com/v2/room"
  room = "4189212"
  token = "9hiWoDOZ9IbmHsOTeST123ABciWTIqXQVFDo63h9"

Example TICKscript

stream
  |alert()
    .hipChat()
      .room('Kapacitor')

Id

Template for constructing a unique ID for a given alert.

Available template data

Default: {{ .Name }}:{{ .Group }}

// Pattern
alert.id(value string)

// Example
alert.id('{{ .Name }}:{{ .Group }}')

Example: ID template using name and group

stream
  |from()
    .measurement('cpu')
    .groupBy('cpu')
  |alert()
    .id('kapacitor/{{ .Name }}/{{ .Group }}')

Resulting ID: kapacitor/cpu/cpu=cpu0

Example: ID template using a tag

stream
  |from()
    .measurement('cpu')
    .groupBy('service')
  |alert()
    .id('kapacitor/{{ index .Tags "service" }}')

Resulting ID: kapacitor/authentication

Example: ID template using multiple tags

stream
  |from()
    .measurement('cpu')
    .groupBy('service', 'host')
  |alert()
    .id('kapacitor/{{ index .Tags "service" }}/{{ index .Tags "host" }}')

Resulting ID: kapacitor/authentication/auth001.example.com

IdField

Optional field key to add to the data, containing the alert ID as a string.

// Pattern
alert.idField(value string)

// Example
alert.idField('id')

IdTag

Optional tag key to use when tagging the data with the alert ID.

// Pattern
alert.idTag(value string)

// Example
alert.idTag('alertID')

Info

Filter expression for the INFO alert level. An empty value indicates the level is invalid and is skipped.

// Pattern
alert.info(value ast.LambdaNode)

// Example
alert.info(lambda: 'usage_idle' < 60)

InfoReset

Filter expression for resetting the INFO alert level to lower level.

// Pattern
alert.infoReset(value ast.LambdaNode)

// Example
alert.infoReset(lambda: 'usage_idle' > 60)

Inhibit

Inhibit other alerts in a category. The equal tags provides a list of tags that must be equal in order for an alert event to be inhibited.

The following two TICKscripts demonstrate how to use the inhibit feature:

    //cpu_alert.tick
stream
  |from()
    .measurement('cpu')
    .groupBy('host')
  |alert()
    .category('system_alerts')
    .crit(lambda: "usage_idle" < 10.0)

//host_alert.tick
stream
  |from()
    .measurement('uptime')
    .groupBy('host')
  |deadman(0.0, 1m)
    .inhibit('system_alerts', 'host')

The deadman is a type of alert node and can be used to inhibit all alerts in the system_alerts category when triggered. The host argument to the inhibit function says that the host tag must be equal between the CPU alert and the host alert in order for it to be inhibited. This has the effect of the deadman alerts only inhibiting CPU alerts for hosts that are currently dead.

alert.inhibit(category string, equalTags ...string)

Kafka

 |alert()
    .kafka()
      .cluster('default')
      .kafkaTopic('alerts')

// Pattern
alert.levelField(value string)

// Example
alert.levelField('INFO')

LevelTag

// Pattern
alert.levelTag(value string)

// Example
alert.levelTag('level')

  community = "public"

Example TICKscript

stream
  |alert()
    .snmpTrap('1.3.6.1.2.1.1')
      .data('1.3.6.1.2.1.1.6', 'i', '{{ index .Field "value" }}')
      .data('1.3.6.1.2.1.1.7', 's', '{{ .Message }}')

StateChangesOnly

Only sends events where the state changed. Each different alert level OK, INFO, WARNING, and CRITICAL are considered different states.

Example

stream
  |from()
    .measurement('cpu')
  |window()
    .period(10s)
    .every(10s)
  |alert()
    .crit(lambda: "value" > 10)
    .stateChangesOnly()
    .slack()

If the “value” is greater than 10 for a total of 60s, then only two events will be sent. First, when the value crosses the threshold, and second, when it falls back into an OK state. Without stateChangesOnly, the alert would have triggered 7 times: 6 times for each 10s period where the condition was met and once more for the recovery.

An optional maximum interval duration can be provided. An event will not be ignored (aka trigger an alert) if more than the maximum interval has elapsed since the last alert.

  parse-mode = "Markdown"
	disable-web-page-preview = true
	disable-notification = false

Example TICKscript

stream
  |alert()
    .telegram()
      .chatId('xxxxxxx')

  routing-key = "everyone"

Example TICKscript

stream
  |alert()
    .victorOps()
      .routingKey('team_rocket')

// Example
alert.warn(lambda: 'usage_idle' < 20)

WarnReset

Filter expression for resetting the WARNING alert level to lower level.

// Pattern
alert.warnReset(value ast.LambdaNode)

Chaining Methods

Chaining methods create a new node in the pipeline as a child of the calling node. They do not modify the calling node. Chaining methods are marked using the | operator.

Alert

Create an alert node, which can trigger alerts.

alert|alert()

Returns: AlertNode

Barrier

Create a new Barrier node that emits a BarrierMessage periodically.

One BarrierMessage will be emitted every period duration.

alert|barrier()

Returns: BarrierNode

Bottom

Select the bottom num points for field and sort by any extra tags or fields.

alert|bottom(num int64, field string, fieldsAndTags ...string)

Returns: InfluxQLNode

ChangeDetect

Create a new node that only emits new points if different from the previous point.

alert|changeDetect(field string)

Returns: ChangeDetectNode

Combine

Combine this node with itself. The data is combined on timestamp.

alert|combine(expressions ...ast.LambdaNode)

Returns: CombineNode

Count

Count the number of points.

alert|count(field string)

Returns: InfluxQLNode

CumulativeSum

Compute a cumulative sum of each point that is received. A point is emitted for every point collected.

alert|cumulativeSum(field string)

Returns: InfluxQLNode

Deadman

Helper function for creating an alert on low throughput, a.k.a. deadman’s switch.

• Threshold: trigger alert if throughput drops below threshold in points/interval.
• Interval: how often to check the throughput.
• Expressions: optional list of expressions to also evaluate. Useful for time of day alerting.

Example:

    var data = stream
        |from()...
    // Trigger critical alert if the throughput drops below 100 points per 10s and checked every 10s.
    data
        |deadman(100.0, 10s)
    //Do normal processing of data
    data...

The above is equivalent to this example:

    var data = stream
        |from()...
    // Trigger critical alert if the throughput drops below 100 points per 10s and checked every 10s.
    data
        |stats(10s)
            .align()
        |derivative('emitted')
            .unit(10s)
            .nonNegative()
        |alert()
            .id('node \'stream0\' in task \'{{ .TaskName }}\'')
            .message('{{ .ID }} is {{ if eq .Level "OK" }}alive{{ else }}dead{{ end }}: {{ index .Fields "emitted" | printf "%0.3f" }} points/10s.')
            .crit(lambda: "emitted" <= 100.0)
    //Do normal processing of data
    data...

The id and message alert properties can be configured globally via the ‘deadman’ configuration section.

Since the AlertNode is the last piece it can be further modified as usual. Example:

    var data = stream
        |from()...
    // Trigger critical alert if the throughput drops below 100 points per 10s and checked every 10s.
    data
        |deadman(100.0, 10s)
            .slack()
            .channel('#dead_tasks')
    //Do normal processing of data
    data...

You can specify additional lambda expressions to further constrain when the deadman’s switch is triggered. Example:

    var data = stream
        |from()...
    // Trigger critical alert if the throughput drops below 100 points per 10s and checked every 10s.
    // Only trigger the alert if the time of day is between 8am-5pm.
    data
        |deadman(100.0, 10s, lambda: hour("time") >= 8 AND hour("time") <= 17)
    //Do normal processing of data
    data...

Create an kapacitor loopback node that will send data back into Kapacitor as a stream.

alert|kapacitorLoopback()

Returns: KapacitorLoopbackNode

Last

Select the last point.

alert|last(field string)

Returns: InfluxQLNode

Max

Select the maximum point.

alert|max(field string)

Returns: InfluxQLNode

Mean

Compute the mean of the data.

alert|mean(field string)

Returns: InfluxQLNode

Median

Compute the median of the data.

Note: This method is not a selector. If you want the median point, use .percentile(field, 50.0).

alert|median(field string)

Returns: InfluxQLNode

Min

Select the minimum point.

alert|min(field string)

Returns: InfluxQLNode

Mode

Compute the mode of the data.

alert|mode(field string)

Returns: InfluxQLNode

MovingAverage

Compute a moving average of the last window points. No points are emitted until the window is full.

alert|movingAverage(field string, window int64)

Returns: InfluxQLNode

Percentile

Select a point at the given percentile. This is a selector function, no interpolation between points is performed.

alert|percentile(field string, percentile float64)

Returns: InfluxQLNode

Sample

Create a new node that samples the incoming points or batches.

One point will be emitted every count or duration specified.

alert|sample(rate interface{})

Returns: SampleNode

Shift

Create a new node that shifts the incoming points or batches in time.

alert|shift(shift time.Duration)

Returns: ShiftNode

Sideload

Create a node that can load data from external sources.

alert|sideload()

Returns: SideloadNode

Spread

Compute the difference between min and max points.

alert|spread(field string)

Returns: InfluxQLNode

StateCount

Create a node that tracks number of consecutive points in a given state.

alert|stateCount(expression ast.LambdaNode)

Returns: StateCountNode

StateDuration

Create a node that tracks duration in a given state.

alert|stateDuration(expression ast.LambdaNode)

Returns: StateDurationNode

Stats

Create a new stream of data that contains the internal statistics of the node. The interval represents how often to emit the statistics based on real time. This means the interval time is independent of the times of the data points the source node is receiving.

alert|stats(interval time.Duration)

Returns: StatsNode

Stddev

Compute the standard deviation.

alert|stddev(field string)

Returns: InfluxQLNode

Sum

Compute the sum of all values.

alert|sum(field string)

Returns: InfluxQLNode

SwarmAutoscale

Create a node that can trigger autoscale events for a Docker swarm cluster.

alert|swarmAutoscale()

Returns: SwarmAutoscaleNode

Top

Select the top num points for field and sort by any extra tags or fields.

alert|top(num int64, field string, fieldsAndTags ...string)

Returns: InfluxQLNode

Trickle

Create a new node that converts batch data to stream data.

alert|trickle()

Returns: TrickleNode

Union

Perform the union of this node and all other given nodes.

alert|union(node ...Node)

Returns: UnionNode

Where

Create a new node that filters the data stream by a given expression.

alert|where(expression ast.LambdaNode)

Returns: WhereNode

Window

Create a new node that windows the stream by time.

NOTE: Window can only be applied to stream edges.

alert|window()

Returns: WindowNode
