Alerting

Group related alerts. Kill the noise.

KloudMate groups related alerts from your metrics, logs, and traces, so one failure notifies you once, not a dozen times. Multi-signal rules require several conditions before firing, cutting false positives and flapping.

One failure shouldn't trigger a dozen alerts.

KloudMate groups related alerts into one, so a single failure notifies you once, not once per signal. Rules built from queries and expressions cut false positives, and a likely cause is attached before you start digging.

What teams can do with Alerting

Build precise rules, group related alerts, route them by label, and arrive with a likely cause already attached.

Build rules from queries and expressions

Query KloudMate telemetry or AWS CloudWatch, shape it with math and reduce expressions, then fire on a condition only after it holds for a pending duration.

One rule, many independent alerts

A multi-dimensional rule fires a separate alert per affected host, function, or service, so you see which one broke, not one aggregate alert that hides it.

Route by label, not by hardwired channel

Match on labels with equals, not-equals, in, and not-in; the first rule by priority wins. Ownership lives in labels, so you change routing without touching every rule.

Auto-RCA attaches a likely cause on open

Turn on Auto-RCA for a routing rule and every group it opens gets an AI investigation. The likely cause attaches to the alert and its notifications, so responders start with a lead, not a blank screen.

From raw signal to one explained alert

The pipeline decides what counts as one problem, who hears about it, and why it happened, before the first notification goes out.

01

Pick a source and write queries

Choose KloudMate logs, metrics, and spans, or AWS CloudWatch, then write the queries that capture the signal you care about. PromQL is supported.

02

Shape the result and add context

Use math, reduce, and condition expressions, fire only after the condition holds past the pending duration, then attach severity, runbook, and playbook annotations.

03

Route by label to the right team

Labels derived from query dimensions and the rule's folder feed routing rules that decide who owns each alert and where it goes.

04

Notify once, with the cause attached

Related alerts group into one, so you're notified once. You set the re-notification cadence, and Auto-RCA attaches a likely cause the moment the group opens.

Alert on real conditions, not a single static threshold

Real problems rarely trip one threshold. KloudMate builds rules from queries and expressions across logs, metrics, traces, and CloudWatch, so you can require math, ratios, and several conditions before anything fires.

  • Combine multiple queries with math, reduce (mean, max, min, sum, last, count), and condition expressions
  • Pull from KloudMate telemetry or AWS CloudWatch, and use PromQL for OpenTelemetry data
  • Catch per-resource problems with multi-dimensional alerts: one rule, one alert per affected host or function

Route alerts by label, not by hardwired channel

Ownership lives in labels, not in a channel hardwired to each rule. Routing rules send each group to the right team by priority, and KloudMate suggests new rules from recent alert traffic.

  • Match labels with equals, not-equals, in, and not-in, and combine conditions with AND
  • Group-by keys define one alert: notify once for 7 related firings, not 7 times
  • A default rule catches everything else, so nothing fires into the void
42 firings → 9 notifications — KloudMate alert grouping Noise reduction 42 firings → 9 notifications 42 related alerts fire group by service · env 9 notifications sent Silences ad-hoc · up to 30 days · auto-expire on resolve Maintenance windows recurring or one-time · evaluation stays on

Suppress the expected noise, without going blind

A good notification is timely and rare. KloudMate groups related alerts into one, silences known-noisy rules ad-hoc, and suppresses notifications during planned maintenance, without ever pausing evaluation.

  • Related alerts dedupe into one durable group that survives restarts and tracks state over time
  • Silence noisy alerts ad-hoc for up to 30 days, or auto-expire a silence when its group resolves
  • Schedule one-time or recurring maintenance windows: notifications off, evaluation and history still on

Every alert group opens with a likely cause attached

Turn on Auto-RCA for any routing rule and KloudMate investigates the moment a group opens. The likely cause attaches to the alert and its notifications, so responders arrive with a lead instead of a blank screen.
