How to implement a customize SMS notification channel?

Grafana Alerting
,
1

Greetings,

After reading following docs carefully, I know that there are some works before implementing a customize SMS notification channel.

My plan is listed here.

  1. Write my own django project.
  2. This app implements a endpoint to accept webhook notifications from grafana.
  3. It this app, there is a mapping between user and their mobile phone numbers.
  4. It this app, there is a “all grafana alerts” page that user can subscribe alerts.

Is it correct?

It will be nice that we can include a so-called field “send to” fields in webhook notifications.
For example:
{
‘state’: ‘alerting’,
‘ruleUrl’: ‘http: //localhost: 3000/’,
‘title’: ‘[Alerting]Testnotification’,
‘evalMatches’: [{
‘metric’: ‘Highvalue’,
‘tags’: None,
‘value’: 100
},
{
‘metric’: ‘HigherValue’,
‘tags’: None,
‘value’: 200
}],
‘ruleId’: 0,
‘message’: ‘Someoneistestingthealertnotificationwithingrafana.’,
‘imageUrl’: ‘http: //grafana.org/assets/img/blog/mixed_styles.png’,
‘ruleName’: ‘Testnotification’,
‘sendTo’: [xxx-xxx-xxxx, xxx-xxx-xxxx]
}

The custom webhook notification channel does not have lot of options currently, sadly.

It’s OK.

We are looking forward to the new features of grafana. Grafana is awesome!

I just used web API to pull the alerts params from my dashboard jsons and created a custom trigger script to Twilio. Took less than a day.

Can you post the script ?

Hi @torkel is there any way to receive the alert notifications through SMS?

Hi

have you used webhook in grafana ?

Yes, I have.

You need to set up a web service end point to accept and parse POST message from grafana webhook.
