Prometheus监控 - Alertmanager报警模块

Overview

Alertmanager与Prometheus是相互分离的两个部分。Prometheus服务器根据报警规则将警报发送给Alertmanager,然后Alertmanager将silencing、inhibition、aggregation等消息通过电子邮件、PaperDuty和HipChat发送通知。

设置警报和通知的主要步骤:

  • 安装配置Alertmanager
  • 配置Prometheus通过-alertmanager.url标志与Alertmanager通信
  • 在Prometheus中创建告警规则

Alertmanager简介及机制

Alertmanager处理由类似Prometheus服务器等客户端发来的警报,之后需要删除重复、分组,并将它们通过路由发送到正确的接收器,比如电子邮件、Slack等。Alertmanager还支持沉默和警报抑制的机制。

分组

分组是指当出现问题时,Alertmanager会收到一个单一的通知,而当系统宕机时,很有可能成百上千的警报会同时生成,这种机制在较大的中断中特别有用。

例如,当数十或数百个服务的实例在运行,网络发生故障时,有可能服务实例的一半不可达数据库。在告警规则中配置为每一个服务实例都发送警报的话,那么结果是数百警报被发送至Alertmanager。

但是作为用户只想看到单一的报警页面,同时仍然能够清楚的看到哪些实例受到影响,因此,人们通过配置Alertmanager将警报分组打包,并发送一个相对看起来紧凑的通知。

分组警报、警报时间,以及接收警报的receiver是在配置文件中通过路由树配置的。

抑制

抑制是指当警报发出后,停止重复发送由此警报引发其他错误的警报的机制。

例如,当警报被触发,通知整个集群不可达,可以配置Alertmanager忽略由该警报触发而产生的所有其他警报,这可以防止通知数百或数千与此问题不相关的其他警报。

抑制机制可以通过Alertmanager的配置文件来配置。

沉默

沉默是一种简单的特定时间静音提醒的机制。一种沉默是通过匹配器来配置,就像路由树一样。传入的警报会匹配RE,如果匹配,将不会为此警报发送通知。

沉默机制可以通过Alertmanager的Web页面进行配置。

Alertmanager的配置

Alertmanager通过命令行flag和一个配置文件进行配置。命令行flag配置不变的系统参数、配置文件定义的禁止规则、通知路由和通知接收器。

要查看所有可用的命令行flag,运行alertmanager -h

Alertmanager在运行时加载配置,如果不能很好的形成新的配置,更改将不会被应用,并记录错误。

配置文件

要指定加载的配置文件,需要使用-config.file标志。该文件使用YAML来完成,通过下面的描述来定义。括号内的参数是可选的,对于非列表的参数的值设置为指定的缺省值。

global:
  # ResolveTimeout is the time after which an alert is declared resolved
  # if it has not been updated.
  [ resolve_timeout:  | default = 5m ]

  # The default SMTP From header field.
  [ smtp_from:  ]
  # The default SMTP smarthost used for sending emails.
  [ smtp_smarthost:  ]

  # The API URL to use for Slack notifications.
  [ slack_api_url:  ]

  [ pagerduty_url:  | default = "https://events.pagerduty.com/generic/2010-04-15/create_event.json" ]
  [ opsgenie_api_host:  | default = "https://api.opsgenie.com/" ]

# Files from which custom notification template definitions are read.
# The last component may use a wildcard matcher, e.g. 'templates/*.tmpl'.
templates:
  [ -  ... ]

# The root node of the routing tree.
route: 

# A list of notification receivers.
receivers:
  -  ...

# A list of inhibition rules.
inhibit_rules:
  [ -  ... ]

路由 route

路由块定义了路由树及其子节点。如果没有设置的话,子节点的可选配置参数从其父节点继承。

每个警报进入配置的路由树的顶级路径,顶级路径必须匹配所有警报(即没有任何形式的匹配)。然后匹配子节点。如果continue的值设置为false,它在匹配第一个孩子后就停止;如果在子节点匹配,continue的值为true,警报将继续进行后续兄弟姐妹的匹配。如果警报不匹配任何节点的任何子节点(没有匹配的子节点,或不存在),该警报基于当前节点的配置处理。

路由配置格式

[ receiver:  ]
[ group_by: '[' , ... ']' ]

# Whether an alert should continue matching subsequent sibling nodes.
[ continue:  | default = false ]

# A set of equality matchers an alert has to fulfill to match the node.
match:
  [ : , ... ]

# A set of regex-matchers an alert has to fulfill to match the node.
match_re:
  [ : , ... ]

# How long to initially wait to send a notification for a group
# of alerts. Allows to wait for an inhibiting alert to arrive or collect
# more initial alerts for the same group. (Usually ~0s to few minutes.)
[ group_wait:  ]

# How long to wait before sending notification about new alerts that are
# in are added to a group of alerts for which an initial notification
# has already been sent. (Usually ~5min or more.)
[ group_interval:  ]

# How long to wait before sending a notification again if it has already
# been sent successfully for an alert. (Usually ~3h or more).
[ repeat_interval:  ]

# Zero or more child routes.
routes:
  [ -  ... ]

示例:

# The root route with all parameters, which are inherited by the child
# routes if they are not overwritten.
route:
  receiver: 'default-receiver'
  group_wait: 30s
  group_interval: 5m
  repeat_interval: 4h
  group_by: [cluster, alertname]
  # All alerts that do not match the following child routes
  # will remain at the root node and be dispatched to 'default-receiver'.
  routes:
  # All alerts with service=mysql or service=cassandra
  # are dispatched to the database pager.
  - receiver: 'database-pager'
    group_wait: 10s
    match_re:
      service: mysql|cassandra
  # All alerts with the team=frontend label match this sub-route.
  # They are grouped by product and environment rather than cluster
  # and alertname.
  - receiver: 'frontend-pager'
    group_by: [product, environment]
    match:
      team: frontend

抑制规则 inhibit_rule

抑制规则,是存在另一组匹配器匹配的情况下,静音其他被引发警报的规则。这两个警报,必须有一组相同的标签。

抑制配置格式

# Matchers that have to be fulfilled in the alerts to be muted.
target_match:
  [ : , ... ]
target_match_re:
  [ : , ... ]

# Matchers for which one or more alerts have to exist for the
# inhibition to take effect.
source_match:
  [ : , ... ]
source_match_re:
  [ : , ... ]

# Labels that must have an equal value in the source and target
# alert for the inhibition to take effect.
[ equal: '[' , ... ']' ]

接收器 receiver

顾名思义,警报接收的配置。

通用配置格式

# The unique name of the receiver.
name: 

# Configurations for several notification integrations.
email_configs:
  [ - , ... ]
pagerduty_configs:
  [ - , ... ]
slack_config:
  [ - , ... ]
opsgenie_configs:
  [ - , ... ]
webhook_configs:
  [ - , ... ]

邮件接收器 email_config

# Whether or not to notify about resolved alerts.
[ send_resolved:  | default = false ]

# The email address to send notifications to.
to: 
# The sender address.
[ from:  | default = global.smtp_from ]
# The SMTP host through which emails are sent.
[ smarthost: <string> | default = global.smtp_smarthost ]

# The HTML body of the email notification.
[ html:  | default = '{{ template "email.default.html" . }}' ] 

# Further headers email header key/value pairs. Overrides any headers
# previously set by the notification implementation.
[ headers: { <string>: , ... } ]

Slack接收器 slack_config

# Whether or not to notify about resolved alerts.
[ send_resolved: <boolean> | default = true ]

# The Slack webhook URL.
[ api_url: <string> | default = global.slack_api_url ]

# The channel or user to send notifications to.
channel: <tmpl_string>

# API request data as defined by the Slack webhook API.
[ color: <tmpl_string> | default = '{{ if eq .Status "firing" }}danger{{ else }}good{{ end }}' ]
[ username: <tmpl_string> | default = '{{ template "slack.default.username" . }}'
[ title: <tmpl_string> | default = '{{ template "slack.default.title" . }}' ]
[ title_link: <tmpl_string> | default = '{{ template "slack.default.titlelink" . }}' ]
[ pretext: <tmpl_string> | default = '{{ template "slack.default.pretext" . }}' ]
[ text: <tmpl_string> | default = '{{ template "slack.default.text" . }}' ]
[ fallback: <tmpl_string> | default = '{{ template "slack.default.fallback" . }}' ]

Webhook接收器 webhook_config

# Whether or not to notify about resolved alerts.
[ send_resolved: <boolean> | default = true ]

# The endpoint to send HTTP POST requests to.
url: <string>

Alertmanager会使用以下的格式向配置端点发送HTTP POST请求:

{
  "version": "2",
  "status": "",
  "alerts": [
    {
      "labels": ,
      "annotations": ,
      "startsAt": "",
      "endsAt": ""
    },
    ...
  ]
} 
  

报警规则

报警规则允许你定义基于Prometheus语言表达的报警条件,并发送报警通知到外部服务。

定义报警规则

报警规则通过以下格式定义:

ALERT 
  IF 
  [ FOR  ]
  [ LABELS <label set> ]
  [ ANNOTATIONS <label set> ]

FOR子句使得Prometheus等待第一个传进来的向量元素(例如高HTTP错误的实例),并计数一个警报。如果元素是active,但是没有firing的,就处于pending状态。

LABELS(标签)子句允许指定一组附加的标签附到警报上。现有的任何标签都会被覆盖,标签值可以被模板化。

ANNOTATIONS(注释)子句指定另一组未查明警报实例的标签,它们被用于存储更长的其他信息,例如警报描述或者链接,注释值可以被模板化。

报警规则示例

# Alert for any instance that is unreachable for >5 minutes.
ALERT InstanceDown
  IF up == 0
  FOR 5m
  LABELS { severity = "page" }
  ANNOTATIONS {
    summary = "Instance {{ $labels.instance }} down",
    description = "{{ $labels.instance }} of job {{ $labels.job }} has been down for more than 5 minutes.",
  }

# Alert for any instance that have a median request latency >1s.
ALERT APIHighRequestLatency
  IF api_http_request_latencies_second{quantile="0.5"} > 1
  FOR 1m
  ANNOTATIONS {
    summary = "High request latency on {{ $labels.instance }}",
    description = "{{ $labels.instance }} has a median request latency above 1s (current value: {{ $value }}s)",
  }

发送警报通知

Prometheus可以周期性的发送关于警报状态的信息到Alertmanager实例,然后Alertmanager调度来发送正确的通知。该Alertmanager可以通过-alertmanager.url命令行flag来配置。
