Alert Rule Generator Tool
Alert Rule Generator
Generate monitoring alert rules for various platforms and services with pre-built samples and templates.
Prometheus Alert Rules
Create PromQL-based alert rules for your Prometheus monitoring setup. These rules are evaluated continuously and trigger alerts when conditions are met.
📋 Sample Templates - Click to Load
🔥 High CPU Usage
Alert when CPU usage exceeds 80% for 5 minutes
💾 Memory Usage
Alert when memory usage is above 90% for 3 minutes
💿 Disk Space
Alert when disk usage exceeds 85% for 2 minutes
⚡ Response Time
Alert when HTTP response time is over 2 seconds
💡 Quick Tips:
- Use meaningful alert names that describe the issue
- Common durations: 1m, 5m, 10m, 30m
- Severity levels help prioritize alerts
- Test thresholds in your environment first
Grafana Alert Rules
Create unified alerting rules for Grafana. These alerts can query multiple data sources and provide flexible notification options.
📋 Sample Templates - Click to Load
💾 High Memory Alert
Monitor memory usage across your infrastructure
❌ Error Rate Alert
Alert on high application error rates
🐌 High Latency Alert
Monitor API response time degradation
💡 Quick Tips:
- Evaluation interval determines how often the rule runs
- "For" duration prevents flapping alerts
- Use descriptive messages for better incident response
AWS CloudWatch Alarms
Create CloudWatch alarms to monitor AWS resources. These alarms can trigger SNS notifications, Auto Scaling actions, or EC2 actions.
📋 Sample Templates - Click to Load
🖥️ EC2 High CPU
Monitor EC2 instance CPU utilization
🗄️ RDS CPU Usage
Alert on database CPU spikes
⚖️ ELB High Latency
Monitor load balancer response times
💡 Quick Tips:
- Period is in seconds (300 = 5 minutes)
- Evaluation periods determine how many periods to evaluate
- Add dimensions to target specific resources
DataDog Monitors
Create DataDog monitors with flexible queries and thresholds. Supports metric, service check, event, and log-based alerting.
📋 Sample Templates - Click to Load
💿 Disk Usage Monitor
Monitor disk space across your infrastructure
🌐 Network Throughput
Alert on unusual network activity
🔧 Service Health Check
Monitor service availability and health
💡 Quick Tips:
- Use tags to scope your monitors effectively
- Warning thresholds help with gradual degradation
- Query syntax follows DataDog's metric query language
New Relic Alert Policies
Create New Relic alert policies and conditions for comprehensive application and infrastructure monitoring.
📋 Sample Templates - Click to Load
⚡ App Response Time
Monitor application response time performance
❌ Error Rate Monitor
Alert on application error rate spikes
📊 Throughput Monitor
Monitor application request throughput
💡 Quick Tips:
- Policies group related conditions together
- Duration determines how long condition must persist
- Different condition types monitor different aspects

Why Alert Rules Matter in DevOps
Monitoring alerts are crucial for maintaining system reliability and performance. They provide early warning of issues, enable proactive incident response, and help ensure optimal user experience by catching problems before they impact users. Proper alerting reduces mean time to detection (MTTD) and mean time to resolution (MTTR).
Best Practices for Alert Rules
- Start Simple: Begin with basic CPU, memory, and disk alerts
- Avoid Alert Fatigue: Set appropriate thresholds to prevent noise
- Use Severity Levels: Categorize alerts by impact and urgency
- Test Your Alerts: Verify alerts work in your environment
- Document Context: Include helpful descriptions and runbooks

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Are the generated rules production-ready?
The generated rules provide a solid foundation, but you should review and customize them based on your specific requirements and infrastructure setup. Always test in a development environment first.
Q. Can I modify the generated rules?
Absolutely! The generated rules are meant to be starting points. You can copy them and modify as needed for your specific use case, including adjusting thresholds, timeframes, and notification channels.
Q. How do I know what thresholds to use?
Start with the sample values and adjust based on your application's normal behavior. Monitor for a few days to understand baseline performance, then set thresholds 10-20% above normal levels.
Q. Do I need to install anything to use these rules?
The rules are generated client-side in your browser. You'll need to deploy them to your respective monitoring platforms according to their documentation and configure notification channels.
Q. What if my monitoring platform isn't supported?
While we support the most popular platforms, you can use the generated rules as templates and adapt them for other monitoring systems with similar concepts and syntax.
