This is a quick-start guide that will get you running Alerta in under 5 minutes.
For Debian/Ubuntu, run:
$ sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
$ sudo mongod -f /etc/mongod.conf &
If apt-get
can't locate the "mongodb-org" metapackage package then follow these steps to add MongoDB package repository to apt sources list.
For other operating systems, see the installation steps on the MongoDB web site.
To install the alerta server:
$ pip3 install alerta-server
$ alertad run --port 8080
You should see something like:
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:8080/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)
To install the web console:
$ wget https://github.com/alerta/alerta-webui/releases/latest/download/alerta-webui.tar.gz
$ tar zxvf alerta-webui.tar.gz
$ cd dist
$ python3 -m http.server 8000
>> browse to http://localhost:8000
To send an alert to the server:
$ alerta send -r web01 -e NodeDown -E Production -S Website -s major -t "Web server is down." -v ERROR
The alert should appear almost immediately in the console. If it doesn't it's either a CORS issues <cross_origin>
or a bug.
