Chapter 2. AlertingRule [monitoring.openshift.io/v1]

groups

array

groups is a list of grouped alerting rules. Rule groups are the unit at which Prometheus parallelizes rule processing. All rules in a single group share a configured evaluation interval. All rules in the group will be processed together on this interval, sequentially, and all rules will be processed. It’s common to group related alerting rules into a single AlertingRule resources, and within that resource, closely related alerts, or simply alerts with the same interval, into individual groups. You are also free to create AlertingRule resources with only a single rule group, but be aware that this can have a performance impact on Prometheus if the group is extremely large or has very complex query expressions to evaluate. Spreading very complex rules across multiple groups to allow them to be processed in parallel is also a common use-case.

groups[]

object

RuleGroup is a list of sequentially evaluated alerting rules.

interval

string

interval is how often rules in the group are evaluated. If not specified, it defaults to the global.evaluation_interval configured in Prometheus, which itself defaults to 30 seconds. You can check if this value has been modified from the default on your cluster by inspecting the platform Prometheus configuration: The relevant field in that resource is: spec.evaluationInterval

name

string

name is the name of the group.

rules

array

rules is a list of sequentially evaluated alerting rules. Prometheus may process rule groups in parallel, but rules within a single group are always processed sequentially, and all rules are processed.

rules[]

object

Rule describes an alerting rule. See Prometheus documentation: - https://www.prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/alerting_rules

alert

string

alert is the name of the alert. Must be a valid label value, i.e. may contain any Unicode character.

annotations

object (string)

annotations to add to each alert. These are values that can be used to store longer additional information that you won’t query on, such as alert descriptions or runbook links.

expr

integer-or-string

expr is the PromQL expression to evaluate. Every evaluation cycle this is evaluated at the current time, and all resultant time series become pending or firing alerts. This is most often a string representing a PromQL expression, e.g.: mapi_current_pending_csr > mapi_max_pending_csr In rare cases this could be a simple integer, e.g. a simple "1" if the intent is to create an alert that is always firing. This is sometimes used to create an always-firing "Watchdog" alert in order to ensure the alerting pipeline is functional.

for

string

for is the time period after which alerts are considered firing after first returning results. Alerts which have not yet fired for long enough are considered pending.

labels

object (string)

labels to add or overwrite for each alert. The results of the PromQL expression for the alert will result in an existing set of labels for the alert, after evaluating the expression, for any label specified here with the same name as a label in that set, the label here wins and overwrites the previous value. These should typically be short identifying values that may be useful to query against. A common example is the alert severity, where one sets severity: warning under the labels key:

observedGeneration

integer

observedGeneration is the last generation change you’ve dealt with.

prometheusRule

object

prometheusRule is the generated PrometheusRule for this AlertingRule. Each AlertingRule instance results in a generated PrometheusRule object in the same namespace, which is always the openshift-monitoring namespace.

name

string

name of the referenced PrometheusRule.

allowWatchBookmarks

boolean

allowWatchBookmarks requests watch events with type "BOOKMARK". Servers that do not implement bookmarks may ignore this flag and bookmarks are sent at the server’s discretion. Clients should not assume bookmarks are returned at any specific interval, nor may they assume the server will send any BOOKMARK event during a session. If this is not a watch, this field is ignored.

continue

string

The continue option should be set when retrieving more results from the server. Since this value is server defined, clients may only use the continue value from a previous query result with identical query parameters (except for the value of continue) and the server may reject a continue value it does not recognize. If the specified continue value is no longer valid whether due to expiration (generally five to fifteen minutes) or a configuration change on the server, the server will respond with a 410 ResourceExpired error together with a continue token. If the client needs a consistent list, it must restart their list without the continue field. Otherwise, the client may send another list request with the token received with the 410 error, the server will respond with a list starting from the next key, but from the latest snapshot, which is inconsistent from the previous list results - objects that are created, modified, or deleted after the first list request will be included in the response, as long as their keys are after the "next key".

This field is not supported when watch is true. Clients may start a watch from the last resourceVersion value returned by the server and not miss any modifications.

fieldSelector

string

A selector to restrict the list of returned objects by their fields. Defaults to everything.

labelSelector

string

A selector to restrict the list of returned objects by their labels. Defaults to everything.

limit

integer

limit is a maximum number of responses to return for a list call. If more items exist, the server will set the continue field on the list metadata to a value that can be used with the same initial query to retrieve the next set of results. Setting a limit may return fewer than the requested amount of items (up to zero items) in the event all requested objects are filtered out and clients should only use the presence of the continue field to determine whether more results are available. Servers may choose not to support the limit argument and will return all of the available results. If limit is specified and the continue field is empty, clients may assume that no more results are available. This field is not supported if watch is true.

The server guarantees that the objects returned when using continue will be identical to issuing a single list call without a limit - that is, no objects created, modified, or deleted after the first request is issued will be included in any subsequent continued requests. This is sometimes referred to as a consistent snapshot, and ensures that a client that is using limit to receive smaller chunks of a very large result can ensure they see all possible objects. If objects are updated during a chunked list the version of the object that was present at the time the first list result was calculated is returned.

pretty

string

If 'true', then the output is pretty printed.

resourceVersion

string

resourceVersion sets a constraint on what resource versions a request may be served from. See https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/using-api/api-concepts/#resource-versions for details.

Defaults to unset

resourceVersionMatch

string

resourceVersionMatch determines how resourceVersion is applied to list calls. It is highly recommended that resourceVersionMatch be set for list calls where resourceVersion is set See https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/using-api/api-concepts/#resource-versions for details.

Defaults to unset

sendInitialEvents

boolean

sendInitialEvents=true may be set together with watch=true. In that case, the watch stream will begin with synthetic events to produce the current state of objects in the collection. Once all such events have been sent, a synthetic "Bookmark" event will be sent. The bookmark will report the ResourceVersion (RV) corresponding to the set of objects, and be marked with "k8s.io/initial-events-end": "true" annotation. Afterwards, the watch stream will proceed as usual, sending watch events corresponding to changes (subsequent to the RV) to objects watched.

When sendInitialEvents option is set, we require resourceVersionMatch option to also be set. The semantic of the watch request is as following: - resourceVersionMatch = NotOlderThan is interpreted as "data at least as new as the provided resourceVersion`" and the bookmark event is send when the state is synced to a `resourceVersion at least as fresh as the one provided by the ListOptions. If resourceVersion is unset, this is interpreted as "consistent read" and the bookmark event is send when the state is synced at least to the moment when request started being processed. - resourceVersionMatch set to any other value or unset Invalid error is returned.

Defaults to true if resourceVersion="" or resourceVersion="0" (for backward compatibility reasons) and to false otherwise.

timeoutSeconds

integer

Timeout for the list/watch call. This limits the duration of the call, regardless of any activity or inactivity.

boolean

Watch for changes to the described resources and return them as a stream of add, update, and remove notifications. Specify resourceVersion.

This is the default behavior prior to v1.23. - Warn: This will send a warning via the standard warning response header for each unknown field that is dropped from the object, and for each duplicate field that is encountered. The request will still succeed if there are no other errors, and will only persist the last of any duplicate fields. This is the default in v1.23+ - Strict: This will fail the request with a BadRequest error if any unknown fields would be dropped from the object, or if any duplicate fields are present.

Deprecated: please use the PropagationPolicy, this field will be deprecated in 1.7. Should the dependent objects be orphaned. If true/false, the "orphan" finalizer will be added to/removed from the object’s finalizers list. Either this field or PropagationPolicy may be set, but not both.

propagationPolicy

string

Whether and how garbage collection will be performed. Either this field or OrphanDependents may be set, but not both. The default policy is decided by the existing finalizer set in the metadata.finalizers and the resource-specific default policy. Acceptable values are: 'Orphan' - orphan the dependents; 'Background' - allow the garbage collector to delete the dependents in the background; 'Foreground' - a cascading policy that deletes all dependents in the foreground.
