v0.3.0
This is a breaking update that renames terminology and begins feature updates
based on experiences over the past year. Here's a summary of the terminology
changes:
- Synthetic alarms are now called managed alarms since they are managed by
Alarmist. Alarmist.Definitionis nowAlarmist.Alarmto signify that you're
defining alarms.defalarmis nowalarm_if. The way to read this is "[Alarmist] sets an
alarm IF the following condition is true". Future releases will have other
ways of indicating when alarms should be set.
When upgrading, you'll get compiler errors to guide you on the renames.
In addition to the above breaking changes, there are quite a few updates from
v0.2.2:
-
New features
- Support for tuple-based alarm IDs like
{NetworkBroken, "eth0"}to allow
for generic alarm types. The boolean logic for combining alarms supports
variables now so that managed alarms don't need to know the
instance-specific pieces until registration. - Support alarm severities. Alarm severities use the same atoms as Logger
severities (:error,:warning,:info, etc.) and may be set on both
managed and unmanaged alarms. - Add
Alarmist.info/1for quickly getting a list of set and cleared alarms
when using the CLI - Support registering alarms and setting levels using the application
environment viaconfig :alarmist, ...
- Support for tuple-based alarm IDs like
-
Updates
- Internally created alarms when registering managed alarms are now all
:debugseverity and won't display or be returned by default since most
alarm querying functions return:infoand higher. You can still get to
them by passinglevel: :debugto affected functions. - Fix silent failures of Alarmist API calls immediately after Alarmist is
started due to asyncgen_eventhandler registration. This seemed to only
affect unit tests in practice. - Clean up state better when unregistering managed alarms and stopping the
Alarmist app. - Many more unit tests for better code coverage of edge cases
- Internally created alarms when registering managed alarms are now all
