Alerts Library

Powered by Monitoring Integrations, Sysdig automatically detects the applications and services running in your environment and recommends alerts that you can enable.

Two types of alert templates are included in Alerts Library:

• Recommended: Alert suggestions based on the services that are detected running in your infrastructure.

• All templates: You can browse templates for all the services. For some templates, you might need to configure Monitor Integrations.

Access Alerts Library

1. Log in to Sysdig Monitor.

2. Click Alerts from the left navigation pane.

3. On the Alerts tab, click  Library.

   

Import an Alert

1. Locate the service that you want to configure an alert for.

   To do so, either use the text search or identify from a list of services.

2. For example, click Redis.

   

   Eight template suggestions are displayed for 14 Redis services running on the environment.

3. From a list of template suggestions, choose the desired template.

   The Redis page shows the alerts that are already in use and that you can enable.

4. Enable one or more alert templates. To do so, you can do one of the following:
