Bosun Notifications: Overview Overview
Example
Bosun notifications are assigned to alert definitions using warnNotification and critNotification and indicate where to send the rendered alert template when a new incident occur. Notifications can be sent via email or use HTTP GET/POST requests. There also is a Print notification that just adds information to the Bosun log file.
If you want to hide a URL, Password, or API Key from being in plain text you can use ${env.VARIABLENAME} to load the value from an Environmental Variable (usually exported from the Bosun init script). Please note that there are no protections on who can access the variables (they can easily be displayed in a template) but it does prevent them from being displayed directly on the Rule Editor page or in the .conf file.
notification logfile {
print = true
}
#print can be added to any notification type to help with debugging
notification email {
email = [email protected]
print = true
}
