GoAlert v0.33.0

After a significant hiatus since our last release, we're thrilled to announce GoAlert v0.33.0! This release lays the groundwork for some exciting future features while also delivering numerous fixes and stability improvements to enhance your current experience.

GraphQL API Keys

GraphQL API Keys are now fully supported and out of the experimental phase! We've introduced a dedicated editor to manage your API keys more efficiently, simplifying the process of creating, editing, and organizing your keys.

Alert Metadata

Introducing Alert Metadata: You can now attach arbitrary key-value metadata to alerts, enhancing the context and flexibility of your alerting workflow. This feature allows for more detailed and informative alerts, facilitating better incident management.

To add metadata to an alert, include it in your request parameters or JSON body. For example:

Via URL parameters:

bash
Copy code

/api/v2/generic/incomming?token=<token>&meta=example_key=example_value&meta=example_key2=example_value2

Or in a JSON body:

{
  "summary": "test",
  "details": "test",
  "meta": {
    "example_key": "example_value",
    "example_key2": "example_value2"
  }
}

Refer to the documentation (/docs) on your GoAlert instance for more details.

Miscellaneous Enhancements

We've introduced several improvements to enhance usability and reliability:

  • Custom End Time for Service Maintenance Mode: You can now specify a custom end time when putting a service into maintenance mode, giving you more control over maintenance scheduling.

  • Externally Managed Integration Keys: Integration keys can now be marked as "externally managed," allowing seamless integration with external systems that manage keys.

  • Improved SMTP Reliability: The remote monitor will now retry sending emails if the SMTP server is unavailable, increasing the robustness of email notifications.

Bug Fixes

This release includes numerous UI bug fixes and log improvements to enhance stability and user experience. We've addressed issues related to alert details, markdown links, schedule notifications, and more, reducing log noise and fixing various edge-case bugs.

Admin Features

Pprof Profiling Support

Administrators can now create Go pprof profiles for performance analysis. By setting the --listen-pprof flag, you can access profiling data to help diagnose and optimize GoAlert's performance.

1 PR by @mastercactapus

Future Features

A significant portion of this release is dedicated to laying the groundwork for upcoming major features:

  • Programmable Integration Keys
  • Plugin System for Outgoing Messages
  • Job Queue System for Processing Tasks

Universal Integration Keys (Experimental)

We are excited to introduce Universal Integration Keys, currently available behind the univ-keys experimental flag. This powerful feature allows you to use Expr expressions to define custom rules for handling incoming messages, providing unprecedented flexibility in configuring alert processing.

With Universal Integration Keys, you can programmatically control how alerts are created, modified, or suppressed based on dynamic conditions. Additionally, you can send "signals" for less critical payloads and pipe a request directly to a Slack message, for example.

For more information, please refer to the Universal Integration Keys documentation.

v0.32.0

GoAlert v0.32.0

Welcome to the unveiling of GoAlert v0.32.0! This release is a comprehensive package, featuring a range of exciting new features, critical bug fixes, and essential developer improvements to elevate your alert management experience.

Experimental Features

API Key Support

The 'API Keys' feature is currently an experimental feature. To explore this functionality, administrators must opt in by configuring GoAlert with EXPERIMENTAL=gql-api-keys. As an experimental feature, it may change, and your feedback is appreciated. Caution is advised in production, and expect updates as we refine and enhance its capabilities.

Explore an up-and-coming new feature of GoAlert while it's still in its experimental stage! Once activated, discover the new 'API Keys' option in the admin sidebar, allowing administrators to create and tailor access using GraphQL queries or mutations for a more secure and customizable integration.

More information on implementation details and the decisions around this new feature can be found in an ADR here.

Bug Fixes

Temporary Schedules Improvements

A number of bug fixes for the Temporary Schedules features have been addressed and some new features!. Soft limits for start and end dates provide better control, default values are now set accurately, and temporary schedules seamlessly merge as intended.

Schedules are now broken down by a default shift length, and while custom shifts remain supported, this intends to make it easier to create and manage even handoffs amongst team members.

v0.30.0

GoAlert v0.30.0

This version has many improvements and features that have been in the works for a while for users, admins, and developers!

In addition to the binary release below, this release is also available in container image form: goalert/goalert:v0.30.0

Note to Admins: Public URL Configuration is Changing

First and foremost, no breaking changes. Without configuration updates, the new version should behave like the old. However, the global Public URL config is now deprecated.

We added a new --public-url flag (or GOALERT_PUBLIC_URL env var), which is now the preferred way to configure the public address for things like auth, Twilio/Slack callbacks, SMS URLs, and redirects. You should test and update your environments accordingly. Most users can simply start GoAlert with --public-url set to their current Public URL config value; additional notes are below under "Migration Notes"

Things of note:

  • GoAlert will start without the new flag set and fall back to the old behavior. Upgrading to 0.30.0 should be as safe as all other versions with no breaking/behavioral change without explicit opt-in.
  • The new flag replaces all uses of Public URL (in config under General), Referrer URLs (in config under Auth), and the --http-prefix flag. Using it will cause said deprecated settings to be ignored.

This was done to simplify fragile code that caused problems, particularly with various reverse-proxy setups and confusion around deployments behind a route prefix. Redirects and validation no longer use the host header to guess the environment and will always assume it is available at the configured URL.

Migration Notes

  • If you have multiple required Auth Referrer URLs, run separate instances connected to the same DB, one for each URL.
  • If you are using --http-prefix, just ensure the same prefix is set as the path of your --public-url value

New Paint!

A long time coming, we finally added some color to the application and dark-mode support! Changing the color for yourself from the new settings popover is now possible (can be useful for those that use multiple environments).

new-ui

  • Adds a Current User Avatar to the top app bar. (#2212)
  • Adds a button for dark-mode to the user profile. (#2174)
  • Adds a color picker to the Theme Mode (now renamed to Appearance) ButtonGroup in the Settings Popover. (#2393)

Slack Account Linking

Slack account linking is finally supported without running the goalert-slack-email-sync tool. Linking allows a user to close or acknowledge an alert from Slack that previously needed to be maintained by an admin.

When a user attempts to interact with an alert for the first time in Slack, a private message will prompt them to link their account. After confirming in GoAlert, their initial action will be taken (e.g., close or ack), and their account will remain linked for future interactions.

Note: in response to feedback, we've updated the Slack notifier to only include the summary in messages, reducing channel noise.

slack-flow

  • Updates the Slack notification sender to only include the summary in the message payload. (#2478)
  • Adds the ability to link accounts directly from Slack in response to user interaction (#2564)

Maintenance Mode

We've made it possible to put a service in a temporary maintenance mode, which will still allow alerts to be created/acknowledged/closed but prevents escalations (including the first) so your phone isn't going off while you're working to fix an issue :)

image

  • Adds maintenance mode option to snooze alert notifications (#2512)

Alert Metrics for Services

We've added a metrics page for services so you can visualize alert counts, escalations, and time to acknowledge and close. It also allows you to export up to one year of alert data (including timing information) as a CSV.

You can find Alert Metrics under Quick Links on your service details page.

image

  • Adds Alert Metrics dashboard feature accessible from a Service Details quick link. (#2085)
  • Introduces a new engine module for creating and populating a new alert_metrics table. (#2177)
  • Styles the alert metrics graph using our MUI theme and MUI Paper, Typography elements for the graph's tooltip. (#2323)
  • Adds a new chart for visualizing time to acknowledge and time to close averages for daily alerts. (#2347)
  • Moves graph and CSV processing to a web worker when supported. (#2465)
  • Adds escalated alert count to the metrics graph and the information to the table and CSV export. (#2430)
  • Adds new daily_alert_metrics table that aggregates metrics from alert_metrics. (#2272)
  • Use alerts query as the source of truth. Additionally, closedAt is added to the table and CSV export. (#2448)
  • Use autosizer for rechart graphs (#2529)
  • Adds loading status to web worker (#2542)

Grafana Integration

Grafana Alerting is now supported, along with support for images!

image

  • Adds ImageURL to alert details, when available, for Grafana-generated alerts. (#2468)
  • Adds support for Grafana 8.x webhooks. (#2087)

Admin: Message Logs

A new Message Logs page allows admins to view metadata about recently sent notifications.

image

  • Adds Outgoing Logs view from the Admin page. (#2061)
  • Adds debugMessages query that an admin can use to retrieve a list of recent messages from the outgoing_messages table. (#2052)

Admin: Alert Counts Visualization

The new Alert Counts page will help admins find "busy" services and correlate high-alert events when necessary.

image

  • Adds records to the alert_logs table when running make regendb. (#2150)
  • Updates resetdb to include randomly generated escalation logs. (#2430)
  • Adds admin Alert Counts page (#2509)

Admin: Twilio Key Rotation

It is now possible to do a smooth key rotation with Twilio:

  1. Generate secondary auth token
  2. Set secondary as auth token
  3. Set primary as alt. auth token
  4. promote secondary to primary
  5. clear alt auth token

image

  • Add alternate auth token for use during key rotation (#2588)

Developer Experience Improvements

There is now a Dev link in the main navigation menu when starting in development mode (i.e., make start), giving quick access to tools and configuration for local development. In addition, there were several process improvements and paid tech debt with this release, such as a huge speed improvement with the switch to esbuild.

Some of these tools have been available and running with make start but the new dashboard will hopefully make it a lot easier to discover and use the bundled tools!

image

  • Adds "Dev" page in dev mode (#2555)
  • Adds runproc tool, a simpler alternative to runjson. (#2080)
  • Fixes some noise issues in the make start log output. (#2172)
  • Adds the ability to manipulate time within the confines of a Postgres database. (#2438)
  • Updates build-env image to have the necessary dependencies to run Cypress tests, allowing all build steps to be run in the same container. (#2400)
  • Adds a new tool, slowproxy that can simulate network latency, jitter, and throughput constraints for testing. (#2307)
  • Replaces webpack with esbuild for building app.js. (#2314)
  • Replaces the use of webpack-dev-server and the required proxy with a method that will serve files from the local filesystem or in memory. (#2246)
  • Removes old GraphQL code that has been deprecated/unmaintained for the past few releases. (#2051)
  • Allow setting PUBLIC_URL in dev (#2553)
  • Add testing section and move smoketests to test/smoke (#2590)

Bug Fixes/Misc

  • Fixes an issue where invalid int. keys returned 400 instead of 401 (#2546)
  • Add --public-url flag and strictly validate URLs (#2421)
  • Many accessibility improvements & javascript conversions to typescript. (#2318)
  • Some deadlock issues around rotations were fixed by introducing rather aggressive locks. (#2491)
  • Fix for user deletion causing rotation advancement. (#2375)
  • Increase maximum alert summary length to 1 KiB. (#2073)
  • Adds alert summary to status update messages. (#2074)
  • Increase the calendar subscription window of calculated shifts from 1 month to 1 year. (#2388)
  • Removes unmaintained tracing code and dependencies. (#2420)
  • Replaces the use of react-router-dom with wouter. (#2415)
  • Adds support for application/json in incoming webhook. (#2161)
  • Fixes an issue preventing switchover (#2552)
  • Fix/cleanup for Go 1.19 (#2563)

v0.27.0

GoAlert v0.27.0

This release has a lot of long-anticipated awesome new features and improvements! Most of the work of this release was done under the covers to enable these as well as new features currently in the pipeline.

Thanks to our new contributors @kanish671 and @phoenix6561 for help with the React Hooks conversions Issue #923

Temporary Schedules

Temporary schedules allow replacing the entire on-call schedule for a fixed timeframe. It should help situations where a team requires fine-grained control of on-call responsibility for a few days (e.g. peak week).

To get started using this feature, click the "Temp Sched" button from the schedule details page calendar:

A dialog will open allowing you to configure the time span of the schedule and associated shifts:

Temporary schedules will appear green on the calendar:

Email (SMTP) as an User Contact Method

A new user contact method type EMAIL has been introduced. This allows an additional avenue for users to receive alert notifications.

The SMTP server details can be configured from the Admin page.

Prioritize Schedules on Escalation Policies

Schedules now appear at the top of the Edit Step dialog. Many users had trouble with overrides before realizing a rotation was used instead of schedule. This change was found to encourage users to use schedules (instead of rotations) when configuring a policy.

Prometheus Metrics

You can now enable Prometheus metrics at startup. This allows for monitoring some of the internals and health of GoAlert.

To enable, set the --listen-prometheus flag or the GOALERT_LISTEN_PROMETHEUS environment variable.

A new endpoint at <listen_address>/metrics will include:

  • Total number of created alerts
  • Number of in-flight HTTP server requests
  • Total number of requests by status code
  • Duration of outgoing HTTP requests
  • Number of active outgoing HTTP requests
  • Number of engine cycles
  • Engine cycle duration by module
  • GraphQL resolver method statistics
  • Sent notifications by contact method type and message type
  • Received response count by destination and response (e.g. ack, close, stop, start)

Contact Method Throttling

GoAlert now implements bucketed throttling of notifications, per contact method. This is to avoid spamming devices due to misconfiguration or a noisy/broken healthcheck.

For reference, new rules are:

Message Type Contact Method Type Rules
All All 1 per minute
Status All 1 per 3 minutes
3 per 20 minutes (burst)
8 per 2 hours
Alert SMS 5 per 15 minutes (burst)
11 per 1 hour
21 per 3 hours
Alert Voice 3 per 15 minutes (burst)
7 per 1 hour
15 per 3 hours

Bug Fixes/Misc

  • Updated GoAlert in-app documentation at /docs: Now supports rendering multiple markdown documents.
  • ui/schedules: monthly views are fixed to include the correct out-of-bounds shifts when viewing the schedule calendar.
  • ui/forms: fixed an issue where the schedule rule weekday filter couldn't be edited

Version Updates:

  • Golang 1.15.3 -> 1.16.4
  • Postgres 11 -> 13
  • Typescript 3.9.7 -> 4.0.3
  • Apollo 3.1.5 -> 3.3.15
  • Webpack 4.44.2 to 5.13.0

v0.26.0

GoAlert v0.26.0

This release has a lot of bug fixes, cool new features, and hardening in prep for the peak season!

New Version Toast

A version check has now been added to GoAlert's UI that will display a persistent snackbar notification when a new version is detected.

image

Prometheus Alertmanager Support

A new integration key type for Prometheus Alertmanager has been added.
image

Config Enhancements

The config page has a new condensed/summary view to make finding items easier:
image

User Session Management

Users may now manage active login sessions from the profile page, including the ability to easily end/cleanup ones no longer used.
(Admin note: Initial last access time will start as the time of your deployment when introducing this feature.)

image

Full timestamps on Alerts List Page

A toggle was added to the alerts list filter to switch between displaying the duration since created or the full timestamp when created.

image

Phone Number in Use Enhancement

When adding a new contact method with a number that is already in-use, users will now have more helpful messaging with a link to the existing users' profile.

image

Alert Log Message Status

The alert log status entries will now indicate failures for things like provider "Twilio" is disabled.

image

Support for Warnings/Notices

A new notices API has been added within the GraphQL schema for a Notice. Currently, a notice will be displayed if an escalation policy is unused, in the future, this will be expanded to other common issues.

Notice Design

Test Message Delivery Status

A new status dialog has been added that displays real-time delivery details and the status of test notifications.

Other Improvements/ Bug Fixes:

  • Updated to Go 1.15.3, which adds the ability to embed TZ information as well as new vet rules
  • Updated Cypress to 5.5.0, which adds built-in test retries
  • User session cleanup - user sessions greater than 30 days are removed from the database
  • Arm Support was added, making it possible to build and publish multi-platform docker images for GoAlert.
  • Fix for an issue with RequireConfig where integration keys using Mailgun were always display as disabled, even if Mailgun is enabled.
  • Address validation fix for mailgun invalid recipient address would cause a 500 response instead of expected 406.
  • Updated gqlgen to 0.13.0 and error handling (e.g. validation error responses fixed)
  • Fixed goimports command in Makefile so that using go run ... will automatically pull the tool, as well as using the correct version, rather than requiring the user to install it manually.
  • Updated Makefile and Dockerfile to use embedded TZ data instead of relying on the system package. This was to resolve an issue where DST values were no longer calculated properly in TZ versions 2020b onwards (e.g. latest in the alpine build). This should help to ensure that binaries and container images are more consistent with regard to calculated times.
  • Added a section of recommended tools for development to the docs.
  • Updated the admin config page to use accordions for the individual sections.
  • Extended the alerts query by adding fields to AlertSearchOptions that allows for querying alerts by date.
  • Bug fix for Schedules > Shifts > Filter > Time Limit > Specify, now has the capability to backspace numerical values along with a conditional check defaulting users input values between 1-30 appropriately.
