# unsee



Alert dashboard for

[Prometheus Alertmanager](https://prometheus.io/docs/alerting/alertmanager/).



Alertmanager UI is useful for browsing alerts and managing silences, but it's

lacking as a dashboard tool - unsee aims to fill this gap.

Starting with `0.7.0` release it can also aggregate alerts from multiple

Alertmanager instances, running either in HA mode or separate. Duplicated alerts

are deduplicated so only unique alerts are displayed. Each alert is tagged with

names of all Alertmanager instances it was found at and can be filtered based

on those tags.

## Supported Alertmanager versions



Alertmanager's API isn't stable yet and can change between releases, see

`VERSIONS` in [internal/mock/Makefile](/internal/mock/Makefile) for list of all

Alertmanager releases that are tested and supported by unsee.

Due to API differences between those releases some features will work

differently or be missing, it's recommended to use the latest supported

Alertmanager version.



## Security



The unsee process doesn't send any API request to the Alertmanager that could

modify alerts or silence state, but it does provide a web interface that allows

a user to send such requests directly to the Alertmanager API.

If you wish to deploy unsee as a read-only tool please ensure that:



* the unsee process is able to connect to the Alertmanager API

* read-only users are able to connect to the unsee web interface

* read-only users are NOT able to connect to the Alertmanager API



## Metrics



unsee process metrics are accessible under `/metrics` path by default.

If you set the `--listen.prefix` option a path relative to it will be

used.



## Building and running



### Building from source



To clone git repo and build the binary yourself run:



    git clone https://github.com/cloudflare/unsee $GOPATH/src/github.com/cloudflare/unsee

    cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/cloudflare/unsee



To finally compile `unsee` the binary run:



    make



Note that building locally from sources requires Go, nodejs and npm.

See Docker build options below for instructions on building from withing docker

container.



## Running



`unsee` can be configured using config file, command line flags or environment

variables. Config file is the recommended method, it's also the only way to

configure unsee to use multiple Alertmanager servers for collecting alerts.

To run unsee with a single Alertmanager server set `ALERTMANAGER_URI`

environment variable or pass `--alertmanger.uri` flag on the command line, with

Alertmanager URI as argument, example:



    ALERTMANAGER_URI=https://alertmanager.example.com unsee

    unsee --alertmanager.uri https://alertmanager.example.com



There is a make target which will compile and run unsee:



    make run



By default it will listen on port `8080` and Alertmanager mock data will be

used, to override Alertmanager URI set `ALERTMANAGER_URI` and/or `PORT` make

variables. Example:



    make PORT=5000 ALERTMANAGER_URI=https://alertmanager.example.com run



## Docker



### Running pre-build docker image



Official docker images are built and hosted on

[hub.docker.com](https://hub.docker.com/r/cloudflare/unsee/).



Images are built automatically for:



* release tags in git - `cloudflare/unsee:vX.Y.Z`

* master branch commits - `cloudflare/unsee:latest`



#### Examples



To start a release image run:



    docker run -e ALERTMANAGER_URI=https://alertmanager.example.com cloudflare/unsee:vX.Y.Z



Latest release details can be found on

[GitHub](https://github.com/cloudflare/unsee/releases).



To start docker image build from lastet master branch run:



    docker run -e ALERTMANAGER_URI=https://alertmanager.example.com cloudflare/unsee:latest



Note that latest master branch might have bugs or breaking changes. Using

release images is strongly recommended for any production use.



### Building a Docker image



    make docker-image



This will build a Docker image from sources.



### Running the Docker image



    make run-docker



Will run locally built Docker image. Same defaults and override variables

apply as with `make run`. Example:



    make PORT=5000 ALERTMANAGER_URI=https://alertmanager.example.com run-docker



## Configuration



Please see [CONFIGURATION](/docs/CONFIGURATION.md) for full list of available

configuration options and [example.yaml](/docs/example.yaml) for a config file

example.
