How to import Prometheus rules?
Many people in the Prometheus ecosystem have shared alerting rules, such as this project:
Each directory contains alerting rules in YAML format. For example, the host-and-hardware directory includes common alerting rules for node-exporter. Want to directly import these rules into Nightingale? Please refer to the following steps.
Version
Please use Nightingale version 8.2.0 or later.
Import Steps
As shown in the screenshot above, go to the alerting rules page and select import to import Prometheus-format alerting rules. Note that the YAML-formatted rule content starts with groups, which contains multiple group entries. Each group has a name and rules, where rules is an array of specific alerting rules. Nightingale will ignore the group’s name during processing and directly import the content in rules.
After the import is complete, you usually need to associate notification rules to enable alert notifications. The method is: select the alerting rules in batches, then click “More Operations” in the upper right corner to batch update the alerting rules:
In the batch update pop-up, select “Notification rule” as the field, then choose the corresponding notification rule and click “Confirm”. The screenshot is as follows:
