alertmanager-telegram-bot

A simple webserver in Flask, that translates alertmanager alerts into telegram messages.

Running a simple test:

docker run --rm -it \
    -p 9999:9999 \
    -e TELEGRAM_TOKEN="your token" \
    -e TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID="your chat id" \
    -e PORT=9999 \
    -e GELF_HOST=graylog \
    --name alertmanager-telegram-bot \
    registry.gitlab.com/ix.ai/alertmanager-telegram-bot:v0.6.0

Alterantively, use the hub.docker.com image:

docker run --rm -it \
    -p 9999:9999 \
    -e TELEGRAM_TOKEN="your token" \
    -e TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID="your chat id" \
    -e PORT=9999 \
    -e GELF_HOST=graylog \
    --name alertmanager-telegram-bot \
    ixdotai/alertmanager-telegram-bot:latest

Run the test agains the bot:

curl -X POST -d '{"alerts": [{"status":"Testing alertmanager-telegram-bot", "labels":[], "annotations":[], "generatorURL": "http://localhost"}]}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" localhost:9119/alert

Templating

alertmanager-telegram-bot supports jinja templating. take a look at templates/notify.html.j2 for that. If you want to use your own template, mount it as a volume in docker and set the TEMPLATE environment variable. The mount path should be under /templates/ (for example /templates/my-amazing-template).
