Sending traps to prometheus

[Nikhil Goenka]

Hi,

I am trying to enable trap notification on prometheus. I have my alertmanager running on one of the servers with prometheus listening to the alertmanger.

And have a slack webhook where the notifications are being pushed along with emails.

I now wish to enable traps on alertmanager/slack? How can I achieve this?

I'm not sure what you mean by traps.  Prometheus doesn't support SNMP trap events.

Are you talking about alerts?  What alerts have you configured in your rules files?

Ben,

I have the following alerts specified in alert.rules:

ALERT system_down

  IF up == 0

  FOR 1m

  LABELS { severity="critical" }

  ANNOTATIONS {

    summary = "System is down",

    description = "System has been unreachable for more than 1 minute.",

  }

What I wish to do is also send trap along with the notification. I was going through the link below:

https://github.com/chrusty/prometheus_webhook_snmptrapper/

However, I am not sure how to incorporate these Notifications. Should I be modifying the alert.rules file to have these incorporated?

Oh, that makes much more sense.

You're not sending to Prometheus, you're sending from Prometheus via the alertmanager.

You will need to set up the trap webhook server somewhere in your network, and add the URL that it provides as a webhook config in the alertmanager.yml..

Thanks Ben.

Can I also monitor virtual-ip machines through alertmanager and send notifications?
