Set up monitoring notifications

Overview

The monitoring module defines metric-based alerting policies that provide awareness into issues with the cloud application. The module supports integration with external incident management tools like Splunk-On-Call or Pagerduty. It also supports email alerts.

Set up email alerts

The monitoring module supports a simple email-based alerting system that does not rely on an external incident management service.

  1. Update the email_alert_recipients variable in app-config/env-config/monitoring.tf

  2. Run make infra-update-app-service APP_NAME=<APP_NAME> ENVIRONMENT=<ENVIRONMENT> to apply the changes to each environment.

Integrate with an incident management service

  1. Set setting has_incident_management_service = true in app-config/main.tf

  2. Get the integration URL for the incident management service and store it in AWS SSM Parameter Store by running the following command for each environment:

    make infra-configure-monitoring-secrets APP_NAME=<APP_NAME> ENVIRONMENT=<ENVIRONMENT> URL=<WEBHOOK_URL>

  3. Run make infra-update-app-service APP_NAME=<APP_NAME> ENVIRONMENT=<ENVIRONMENT> to apply the changes to each environment.
