Email Notifications for Graylog Health

chench00 · August 9, 2020, 12:44pm

Greetings and pardon if this question has already been answered but I was wondering if it was possible to setup email alerts for Graylog health notifications such as these ones:

Thank you.

This is a good question. I’m interested in this as well

Best way will be probably to use NMS system like Zabbix, and check API /api/system/notifications and create e-mail notification based on output of API.

API shows same system notifications as section System - Overview:

{
  "total": 1,
  "notifications": [
    {
      "severity": "normal",
      "details": {
        "current_version": "3.3.4 (Sloth Rocket) released at 2020-08-06T00:00:00.000Z"
      },
      "type": "outdated_version",
      "timestamp": "2020-08-10T14:01:59.930Z",
      "node_id": "6279b6d3-bfc3-4394-9340-90f47c91b816"
    }
  ]
}

I checked source code and there is some interesting file with description of system notifications:

github.com

Graylog2/graylog2-server/blob/master/graylog2-web-interface/src/logic/notifications/NotificationsFactory.js

import React from 'react';
import { Link } from 'react-router';

import Routes from 'routing/Routes';
import DocsHelper from 'util/DocsHelper';
import DocumentationLink from 'components/support/DocumentationLink';

class NotificationsFactory {
  static getForNotification(notification) {
    switch (notification.type) {
      case 'check_server_clocks':
        return {
          title: 'Check the system clocks of your Graylog server nodes.',
          description: (
            <span>
              A Graylog server node detected a condition where it was deemed to be inactive immediately after being active.
              This usually indicates either a significant jump in system time, e.g. via NTP, or that a second Graylog server node
              is active on a system that has a different system time. Please make sure that the clocks of graylog2 systems are synchronized.
            </span>
          ),

Thanks @shoothub, i made a Nagios check from the /api/system/notifications output . Work as a charm

Any idea how I would achieve the same with something like Grafana?
