Alert Rules

Admins manage rule-based monitoring from Admin → Alerts. Rules evaluate container logs, Docker events, and CPU or memory samples, then deliver to configured notification channels.

Rule types

Logs

Pattern matching on stdout/stderr. Example: 10 ERROR lines within 2 minutes.

Events

Restart loops, OOM kills, and unhealthy health checks.

Metrics

CPU or memory thresholds over a duration. Example: CPU above 90% for 5 minutes.

DockLog alert rules list

Alert rules

Built-in and custom rules for logs, events, and metrics.

DockLog alert rule editor

Create or edit a rule

Set the trigger, severity, and where alerts get sent.

Getting started

  1. Save at least one webhook under Admin → Notifications and turn on delivery.
  2. Enable Intelligent alerts on channels that should receive rule firings.
  3. Open Admin → Alerts, edit or enable a rule, and assign destinations.
  4. Use Test on a rule or channel before relying on it in production.

Pre-seeded rules

A fresh install seeds six starter rules (all disabled): container unhealthy, OOM killed, restart loop, high CPU, high memory, and error log spike.

Rule options

  • Severity: info, warning, or critical.
  • Scope: all containers, specific names, or patterns.
  • Destinations: one or more notification channels per rule.
  • Throttling: cooldown, max alerts per hour, grouping window.
  • Recovery: optional notifications when a condition clears.
History tab
The History tab lists recent firings with severity, container, source type, and timestamp.
