A curated collection of ready-to-use Prometheus alerting rules for monitoring infrastructure, databases, and cloud services.
Awesome Prometheus Alerts is a curated collection of Prometheus alerting rules for monitoring various systems and services. It solves the problem of having to write alert rules from scratch by providing a shared repository of community-vetted configurations for common technologies like databases, message brokers, cloud platforms, and infrastructure components.
DevOps engineers, SREs, and platform teams who use Prometheus for monitoring and need to quickly implement reliable alerting across their technology stack.
Developers choose this project because it dramatically reduces the time and effort required to set up comprehensive alerting, provides battle-tested rules that follow best practices, and offers coverage for a vast array of technologies through community contributions.
🚨 Collection of Prometheus alerting rules
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Covers over 50 technologies from databases to cloud providers, as listed in the extensive 'Rules' section, providing a one-stop-shop for common alerts.
Continuously updated with contributions, ensuring rules stay relevant and benefit from collective operational experience, as highlighted in the 'Contributing' section.
Rules are provided in a format that can be directly integrated into Prometheus configuration, saving significant setup time compared to writing from scratch.
Reflects common alerting patterns and thresholds from diverse setups, helping teams avoid common pitfalls in alert rule design.
The README admits improvements are needed for a rule builder, meaning users must manually tweak thresholds and conditions to fit their specific needs.
As a community-driven project, some rules may be outdated or poorly maintained, requiring careful review before production use.
An improvement goal is to add resolution suggestions, so currently, alerts don't provide guidance on how to fix the issues they detect.
