What is ilert?

ilert is an end-to-end platform for alerting, on-call management, and status pages, built for the new-age DevOps and SRE teams. It streamlines the entire incident management process by automating key aspects and providing powerful tools to improve efficiency, such as automated on-call duty, multi-level escalations, alert grouping, postmortem document creation, and much more. ilert integrates with monitoring systems, like Netdata, and sends alerts through multiple channels (SMS, phone, push, Slack, Microsoft Teams, etc.), ensuring that teams can promptly respond to issues before they impact service.

How Netdata and ilert Work Together

The integration between Netdata and ilert creates a powerful toolset for real-time monitoring and rapid incident response. Here’s how they work together:

• Real-time Monitoring: Netdata monitors system performance and generates alerts in real time when predefined thresholds are crossed, such as high CPU usage or memory saturation.
• Automatic Incident Management: When an alert is triggered in Netdata, ilert instantly receives it via a webhook integration. ilert then routes the alert to the appropriate on-call team member using predefined escalation policies.
• Cross-Platform Notifications: ilert supports notifications through SMS, phone, email, and chat tools like Slack and Microsoft Teams, ensuring that alerts are seen and acted upon fast, no matter where the team is.
• Post-Incident Reporting: Once an incident is resolved, ilert offers post-incident analytics to help teams review response times and pinpoint areas for improvement.

This integration ensures that any system issue detected by Netdata is addressed fast, minimizing downtime and reducing the risk of customer impact and system failure.
