Alerts

KubeSense Alerts let you define conditions on your logs, metrics, and traces data and get notified through Slack, Microsoft Teams, Email, PagerDuty, or Webhooks when those conditions are met.

Monitor error rates, latency spikes, resource saturation, unexpected pattern changes, and more — with flexible evaluation frequencies and multi-channel routing.

Sections

  • Alert Rules — Create and manage alert rules with configurable queries, conditions, evaluation intervals, and firing behavior
  • Integrations — Set up notification channels (Slack, Teams, Email, PagerDuty, Webhook) and configure alert routing

Key Capabilities

  • Multi-source queries — Build alerts on Logs, Metrics, or Traces data using the same query builder as the Data Explorer
  • Formulas — Combine multiple queries with arithmetic expressions (e.g., error rate = errors / total * 100)
  • Three condition types — Threshold alerts, Change alerts, and New Value alerts
  • Flexible firing behavior — Fire at least once, more than N times, or only when breached throughout the entire window
  • Multi-series alerts — Group by any column to evaluate and fire alerts independently per group (e.g., per workload, per namespace)
  • Notification routing — Route alerts to specific channels based on labels and matching rules
