Alert Management

Query, filter, and understand alerts from your data observability monitoring.

Prerequisites

• AnomalyArmor API key configured (~/.armor/config.yaml or ARMOR_API_KEY env var)
• Python SDK installed (pip install anomalyarmor)

When to Use

• "What alerts fired yesterday?"
• "Show me unresolved alerts"
• "Critical alerts for the orders table"
• "What's been going wrong this week?"
• "Why am I getting so many alerts?"

Steps

1. Determine the query parameters from user request:
   • Time range: from_date, to_date (ISO 8601 format)
   • Status: "triggered", "acknowledged", "resolved"
   • Severity: "info", "warning", "critical"
   • Asset: specific table or database
2. Call client.alerts.list() with filters
3. Present results grouped by severity or asset
4. For summary, call client.alerts.summary()

Example Usage

Get Alert Summary

from anomalyarmor import Client

client = Client()

# Get overall summary
summary = client.alerts.summary()
print(f"Total Rules: {summary.total_rules}")
print(f"Active Rules: {summary.active_rules}")
print(f"Recent Alerts (24h): {summary.recent_alerts}")
print(f"Unresolved: {summary.unresolved_alerts}")

Query Alerts by Time Range

from anomalyarmor import Client
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

client = Client()

# Get yesterday's alerts
yesterday = datetime.now() - timedelta(days=1)
alerts = client.alerts.list(
    from_date=yesterday.isoformat(),
    limit=50
)

print(f"Alerts since yesterday: {len(alerts)}")
for alert in alerts:
    print(f"  [{alert.severity}] {alert.message}")
    print(f"    Asset: {alert.asset_name}")
    print(f"    Time: {alert.triggered_at}")

Filter by Severity and Asset

from anomalyarmor import Client

client = Client()

# Get critical alerts for specific asset
alerts = client.alerts.list(
    severity="critical",
    asset_id="postgresql.analytics.public.orders",
    status="triggered"
)

for alert in alerts:
    print(f"[{alert.severity}] {alert.message}")
    print(f"  Asset: {alert.qualified_name} | {alert.triggered_at}")

List Alert Rules

from anomalyarmor import Client

client = Client()

# List active alert rules
rules = client.alerts.rules(enabled_only=True)
for rule in rules:
    print(f"Rule: {rule.name}")
    print(f"  Events: {rule.event_types}")
    print(f"  Severities: {rule.severities}")
