Alertmanager status

./alertmanager_status.py will output the alertmanager status details in a waybar compatible JSON format.

It also holds a historic indicator.py python class for a tray icon based on libappindicator. I don't use it anymore and it doesn't work in the current state, although it might be easy to get it working again.

Todo

• Reduce duplicator code in query_alertmanager.py and alertmanager_status.py

Install

Install dependencies:

    pip install -r requirements.txt

Standalone usage with command line arguments

Standalone usage config file

Configuration

Config file example (~/.config/alertmanager_status/config.yml):

---
url: https://alertmanager.example.com
port: 443
user: admin
password: 123

Usage

./query_alertmanager.py https://alertmanager.example.net my_password

Waybar integration

Additional requirement if you want waybar to parse the on-right-click URL for the config file: yq

"custom/alertmanager": {
  "return-type": "json",
  "interval": 60,
  "format": "Alerts: {} {icon}",
  //"exec-if": "exit 0",                  // always run; consider advanced run conditions
  "format-icons": {
      "firing": "🔥",
      "snafu": "🟢",
      "error": "🚫"
  },
  "exec": "/bin/bash -c 'cd /tmp/alertmanager_status/ && . ./.direnv/*/bin/activate && ./alertmanager_status.py'",
  "signal": 21,
  "on-click": "pkill -RTMIN+21 waybar",
  "on-click-right": "xdg-open $(yq .url < ~/.config/alertmanager_status/config.yml)",
}
