Prometheus Integration

Step 1: Get Your WebSMS Credentials

You'll need your WebSMS account email and password for Basic Authentication. If you don't have an account yet, sign up for free.

Step 2: Configure Alertmanager Webhook Receiver

Add a webhook receiver to your Alertmanager configuration that sends alerts to the WebSMS API. Download our example configuration file:

Step 3: Example Alertmanager Configuration

Add this receiver to your alertmanager.yml:

receivers:
  - name: 'websms-critical'
    webhook_configs:
      - url: 'https://websms.co.nz/api/connexus/sms.php'
        http_config:
          basic_auth:
            username: 'your-email@example.com'
            password: 'your-password'
        send_resolved: true

route:
  receiver: 'default'
  routes:
    - match:
        severity: critical
      receiver: 'websms-critical'

Step 4: Configure Your Alert Rules

Ensure your Prometheus alert rules include the severity: critical label for alerts you want sent via SMS:

groups:
  - name: critical-alerts
    rules:
      - alert: ServiceDown
        expr: up == 0
        for: 1m
        labels:
          severity: critical
        annotations:
          summary: "Service {{ $labels.instance }} is down"
