Customization of Kapacitor alerts

This repository provides a demo for my answer to the Stackoverflow question How to define Alerts with exception in InfluxDB/Kapacitor.

Requirements

• Docker
• docker-compose
• a web browser

Usage

1. Clone this repository

   git clone https://github.com/mwmahlberg/so-influxdb-sideload.git
   cd so-influxdb-sideload
   

2. Pull the required Docker images

   docker-compose pull
   

3. Start the containers

   docker-compose up [-d]
   

4. Wait a few minutes and then visit http://localhost:8888/sources/0/alerts

Caveats

The alert flaps because the chronograf database gets created. #helpwanted
