A feature-rich alert dashboard for Prometheus Alertmanager, designed for visualizing and managing alerts across multiple instances.
Karma is an alert dashboard specifically designed for Prometheus Alertmanager, addressing the limitations of the default Alertmanager UI for dashboarding purposes. It provides advanced visualization, aggregation, and management capabilities for alerts from single or multiple Alertmanager instances, including those in high-availability clusters. The tool focuses on delivering clear, actionable insights without altering alert data.
Monitoring teams, SREs, and DevOps engineers who manage Prometheus-based alerting systems and need a more powerful dashboard than Alertmanager's default UI. It is particularly useful for organizations running multiple Alertmanager instances or HA clusters.
Developers choose Karma over the default Alertmanager UI for its superior alert aggregation, visualization, and management features, including multi-grid views, alert history via Prometheus queries, and enhanced silence management. Its read-first philosophy ensures it enhances Alertmanager's capabilities without modifying alert data, providing a reliable and feature-rich dashboarding experience.

Aggregates and deduplicates alerts from multiple Alertmanager instances or HA clusters, tagging each alert with source information for filtering, as shown in the @alertmanager and @cluster tags.
Groups alerts based on Alertmanager's group_by configuration, displays unique labels and annotations, and includes a color-coded histogram for alert history over 24 hours by querying Prometheus servers.
Provides a modal interface for creating and managing silences with support for ACL rules to control permissions, and allows proxy mode for secure operations between the UI and Alertmanager.
Enables grouping of alert groups by label values, such as environment or severity, for better organization across large alert volumes, as demonstrated in the multi-grid screenshot.
Karma's compatibility depends on Alertmanager's unstable API, requiring specific versions (>=0.22.0) and potentially missing features or breaking changes across releases, as noted in the supported versions section.
Enabling alert history requires configuring Prometheus servers with --web.external-url and ensuring connectivity, adding deployment overhead beyond basic Alertmanager integration.
Tightly coupled with Prometheus Alertmanager, making it unsuitable for hybrid alerting systems or scenarios requiring integration with non-Prometheus monitoring tools without custom work.
