AWS DevOps Guru Integration

AWS DevOps Guru is a machine learning-powered service that identifies operational issues and anomalies within applications running on AWS, providing insights and recommendations for performance improvements. By integrating AWS DevOps Guru with ilert, users gain proactive incident management capabilities, where detected anomalies and potential issues automatically trigger alerts in ilert.

How this integration works

AWS DevOps Guru provides insights into operational anomalies. Notifications are published to specific Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) topics; the events are then sent to ilert.

Architecture

In ilert: Create an Amazon SNS alert source

  1. Go to Alert sources -> Alert sources and click on Create new alert source

  2. Search for Amazon SNS in the search field, click on the Amazon SNS tile, and click on Next.

  3. Give your alert source a name, optionally assign teams, and click Next.

  4. Select an escalation policy by creating a new one or assigning an existing one.

  5. Select your Alert grouping preference and click Continue setup. You may click Do not group alerts for now and change it later.

  6. The next page shows additional settings, such as customer alert templates or notification priority. Click on Finish setup for now.

  7. On the final page, an API key and/or webhook URL will be generated, which you will need later in this guide.

In AWS Simple Notification Service(SNS): Create a new topic

  1. On the sidebar, click on Topics -> Create topic.

  1. Choose Standard and enter a topic Name.
  2. Save the topic.

  1. Now click on Create subscription.

  1. Select 'HTTPS' as Protocol and enter the alert source URL previously generated in ilert into the Endpoint field.

In AWS DevOps Guru: Add a Notification

  1. Navigate to Settings.
  2. Under the Navigation settings, choose 'Select an existing SNS topic'.
  3. Select the newly created topic from before.
