Alert Protocols
Logship allows you to configure proactive monitors that track your telemetry stream in real-time. When specific thresholds are reached, we dispatch high-fidelity JSON payloads to your designated endpoints.
Core Concepts
Every alert rule is defined by four primary vectors:
Environment
Target specific deployment tiers like Production or Staging.
Level Filter
Monitor specific event severities. Trigger on CRITICAL errors while ignoring debug noise.
Threshold
Define the volume of events required to trigger the protocol (e.g., 50 errors in 5 minutes).
Webhook Sink
The destination URL where we'll dispatch the secure incident notification payload.
Payload Architecture
When a rule triggers, Logship sends a POST request with a JSON body following this structure:
{
"event": "alert.triggered",
"rule": {
"id": "rule_98b50e2ddc",
"name": "Production Error Spike"
},
"metrics": {
"count": 124,
"window_minutes": 5,
"level": "error"
},
"timestamp": "2024-05-12T14:30:00Z"
