Alerting

Argus provides a flexible alerting system that notifies you when things go wrong — and stays quiet when they don't.

Key Features

• Alert Rules — Define conditions that trigger alerts
• Notification Channels — Route alerts to Slack, email, or webhooks
• Suppression Windows — Silence alerts during maintenance
• Escalation Policies — Automatic escalation when alerts aren't acknowledged

How Alerting Works

1. Define alert rules with conditions (e.g., "CPU > 90% for 5 minutes")
2. Configure notification channels (Slack, email, webhooks)
3. When a rule triggers, Argus sends notifications to configured channels
4. Optional: AI automatically investigates triggered alerts
5. Alerts resolve automatically when conditions return to normal
