Guided live demo

Sign in to the public demo and walk the path from data source to delivered alert, in the same order as the quick start — no install needed.

After this page you will have seen, on a running instance, every stop an alert makes in Nightingale: the data source it reads, the rule that evaluates it, the event it produces and the rule that delivers it.

Sign in​

Open http://43.106.19.165/landing and sign in as demo / demo.

Expected result: you land on Home, with a Getting started checklist at the top. The demo is the open-source edition, so every menu you see here is one you get from the quick start.

The environment is shared with every other visitor. Do not type real passwords, webhook URLs, phone numbers or API keys into it.

The tour​

Follow the left-hand menu in this order. Each stop is one step of the quick start.

  1. Integrations → Data sources. The sources Nightingale queries in place: nothing is copied in. Open one to see the address and the timeout it uses. Expected result: a list of data sources, each with a type icon such as Prometheus.
  2. Explorer → Metrics. Pick a data source and run a query such as up. This is the same query language an alert rule uses, so a query that returns data here will also work in a rule. Expected result: a chart and a table of series.
  3. Alerts & Notifications → Alert rules. Choose a business group on the left, then open a rule. Look at three things: the query, the threshold for each severity (S1 / S2 / S3), and the for-duration that filters out spikes.
  4. Alerts & Notifications → Events. Active alerts are still firing; Historical alerts keeps every event, recovered ones included. Open an event to see its labels, the value that triggered it and which notifications it set off (more on the two lists).
  5. Alerts & Notifications → Notification rules. This is where an event is matched to people and media types. Media types and Message templates in the same menu define how a message is sent and what it looks like.
  6. Explorer → Dashboards. Charts built on the same data sources. If you already use Grafana you can keep it; dashboards here are optional.

Run your own instance with the quick start, or go straight to your first alert rule.
