How to handle alerts from various tools such as Grafana, Kibana, Sentry, AWS, etc.
In today’s DevOps world, managing alerts from multiple monitoring tools can quickly become difficult. Tools like Grafana, Kibana, Sentry, and AWS CloudWatch each provide important updates about system health, but their different alert formats and notification methods. Imagine having to set up separate webhooks for each tool, dealing with inconsistent message layouts, and manually sending alerts to the right team—all while trying to fix a production issue quickly. It’s a tough situation. Instead of dealing with multiple webhook endpoints and custom scripts, let's use Versus to act as a central hub, turning alerts into a standard format and delivering them where your team already works. Step 1: Create a Unified Alert Template Versus uses Go templates to format incoming alerts. This lets us make one template that works for different alert sources based on their data structure. Here’s an example template for AWS, Grafana, Kibana, and Sentry: {{/* Alert from AWS */}} {{ if .source }} {{ if eq .source "aws.glue" }}
