Publish alerts to an AMQP topic.
For help, join
Clone the GitHub repo and run:
$ python setup.py install
Or, to install remotely from GitHub run:
$ pip install git+https://github.com/alerta/alerta-contrib.git#subdirectory=plugins/amqp
Note: If Alerta is installed in a python virtual environment then plugins need to be installed into the same environment for Alerta to dynamically discover them.
Add amqp to the list of enabled PLUGINS in alertad.conf server
configuration file and set plugin-specific variables either in the
server configuration file or as environment variables.
PLUGINS = ['amqp']
AMQP_URL = 'mongodb://localhost:27017/kombu'
AMQP_TOPIC = 'notify'Note: By default the AMQP plugin is configured to use MongoDB as the AMQP transport so it is not necessary to install RabbitMQ or some other messaging backbone to make use of this plugin.
RabbitMQ Example
PLUGINS = ['reject','amqp']
AMQP_URL = 'amqp://login:password@server:port//' # => default RabbitMQ port=5672
AMQP_TOPIC = 'alerta.notify'Restart Alerta API and confirm that the plugin has been loaded and enabled.
Set DEBUG=True in the alertad.conf configuration file and look for log
entries similar to below:
