alertmanager VS NPushOver

- Alert Manager

You could use prometheus as a monitoring tool, blackbox_exporter to "export" the urls to prometheus, alertmanager for notifications, and grafana for nice gui dashboards (and maybe also notifications).

I found this other example below from this repo https://github.com/prometheus/alertmanager/issues/2559, but it is neither working.

vmalert: executes a list of the given alerting or recording rules against configured data sources. For sending alerting notifications vmalert relies on configured Alertmanager. Recording rules results are persisted via remote write protocol. vmalert is heavily inspired by Prometheus implementation and aims to be compatible with its syntax

Yes, I believe you can do all of what you're looking for without a UI. The alertmanager api has the ability to register receivers as well as to poll for alerts, silence them, etc: https://github.com/prometheus/alertmanager/blob/main/api/v2/openapi.yaml

I found it, unfortunately it doesn't help.

Prometheus recently added native support for time ranges in the alerting config https://github.com/prometheus/alertmanager/issues/876

Never heard of or used push over but I’m assuming this is their site

The general ones that use email never seem to send anything. The ones that specifically use Gmail don't work anymore since Google apparently changed some security settings. And the one that uses Pushover didn't work AND wanted me to pay too much for their app.

Pushover.

check out pushover, I use it for this exact case

https://pushover.net/

I use Pushover for receiving alerts and notifications on my phone. I think the mobile app may cost a small amount like $5 USD, but the service is free for up to 10,000 notifications per month. I can't recommend Pushover enough. It is freaking awesome.

At a glance, with the /stock/products/{productid}/locations you can easily retrieve the amounts for different locations. It should be fairly simple to then filter it either directly in the query or in the script. Then you can either add it to the shopping list with /stock/shoppinglist/add-product or use something like pushover.net to send notification straight to your phone.

I used to use PushBullet but they stopped supporting iOS which is why I came to Now Push. I may use https://pushover.net/ instead, there doesn't seem to be a ton of alternatives.

All you need to to do is register your helium account number and Pushover account number (you can sign up here : https://pushover.net/) and install the pushover app on your phone.

Don't mean to shit on your idea but how does this compare to an app like Pushover for instance? (https://pushover.net/)
