Group based notifications

[sashkab]

Describe the feature request

I have a lot of endpoints monitored by gatus.

I have multiple channels for notifications, but each device should have at least these lines per endpoint.

    alerts:
      - type: slack
        enabled: true
        failure-threshold: 3
        send-on-resolved: true

Would be nice if I can define this once per group, making adding new notification channel, or updating easier.

Why do you personally want this feature to be implemented?

Simplify alerts configuration. Usually group of devices share notification settings.

...or point me into right way for documentation explaining how to avoid a lot of config duplication. I just literally spent 30 minutes copy and pasting different alerting configs between endpoints and then figuring out why some does not send alerts (skipped during pasting portion)...

How long have you been using this project?

Hello @sashkab, did you know that you can set a default alert at the alerting provider configuration?

For instance, if you had the following alerting provider configuration:

alerting:
  slack:
    webhook-url: "..."
    default-alert:
      enabled: true
      failure-threshold: 3
      send-on-resolved: true

You'd be able to omit the other parameters in the endpoint's alert configuration, e.g.:

    alerts:
      - type: slack

That being said, there's already a request for the feature you're asking: #96, as such, I'm going to close this.

To show your support for the feature in the aforementioned issue, please react with 👍 -- this is how I decide what I prioritize when I have time.

@TwiN I was not aware of default-alert, perhaps I missed it while reading the documentation. Thanks for the quick response!

No worries :) Good luck configuring Gatus!
