7.2. Alert Recipients

⁠7.2. Alert Recipients

Usually alerts are directed towards a recipient. Thus each alert may be additionally configured with one or more recipients. The cluster will call the agent separately for each recipient.

Example 7.2. Alert configuration with recipient

<configuration>
    <alerts>
        <alert id="my-alert" path="/path/to/my-script.sh">
            <recipient id="my-alert-recipient" value="some-address"/>
        </alert>
    </alerts>
</configuration>

In the above example, the cluster will call my-script.sh for each event, passing the recipient some-address as an environment variable.

The recipient may be anything the alert agent can recognize — an IP address, an e-mail address, a file name, whatever the particular agent supports.
