🔧 How Notifications Work

Architecture

Monitor Down
    │
    ▼
Incident Created
    │
    ▼
Alert Rules Evaluated
    │
    ▼
Contact Groups Resolved
    │
    ▼
Each Contact's Channels Dispatched
    │
    ├── Email sent
    ├── Slack webhook fired
    ├── Telegram message sent
    └── SMS dispatched

Flow Explained

1. A monitor goes down → An incident is automatically created
2. Alert rules are checked → Rules determine which contacts should be notified
3. Contacts are resolved → Each contact can have multiple channels
4. Notifications are dispatched → Each channel is sent asynchronously via queue
5. Everything is logged → Check Notification Logs for delivery status

📝 Configuration Levels

Notifications are configured at two levels:

1. Global Provider Settings (Admin → Settings → Notification Providers)

These are API keys and tokens that apply to your entire Monitron installation:

• Telegram Bot Token
• Twilio SID, Token, Phone Numbers
• Vonage API credentials
• OneSignal App ID and API Key
• Pushover API Token
• etc.

2. Per-Contact Channel Settings (Contacts → Edit Contact)

Each contact configures their own channel-specific settings:

• Their Slack webhook URL
• Their Telegram chat ID
• Their phone number for SMS
• Their Pushover user key
• etc.

💡 Best Practices

1. Use multiple channels — Don't rely on just email. Add a push notification (Pushover, Telegram) for faster alerts.

2. Separate critical from non-critical — Set up different contacts/groups for critical monitors (get SMS + voice call) vs. informational ones (email only).

3. Test your channels — After setting up, trigger a manual check on a known-down service to verify notifications arrive.

4. Check the Notification Logs — Go to Notification Logs in the sidebar to see every notification attempt, whether it succeeded, and any error messages.
