alert-config-builder

alert-config-builder is a Scala utility which, given an alert specification for a number of services, generates and emits JSON alert configuration documents for those services, suitable for indexing in Elasticsearch.

The artifact produced by this project is used in the alert-config project. The 2 repositories are kept separate due to the fact that the alert-config project is user editable yet we don't want to make the functionality exposed here editable.

Dependencies

Java : 11
Scala : 2.11.*
SBT : 1.5.1
app-config : Depends on the app-config Git repository for the environment for which the alert config is being generated e.g. app-config-qa.
For local testing, you will need an empty app-config folder outside the alert-config-builder i.e. mkdir -p ../app-config

Parameters

app-config-path - A Java system property which identifies the location of the app-config repository to use in the generation of the alert-config. This can be either a relative or absolute path. If not provided this will default to ../app-config.

How to contribute and test

Make sure all dependencies are satisfied Run sbt clean test to confirm main branch is functional Amend the code Make sure old and your new tests are passing: sbt clean test To see the outcome:

• Create a new version by building your branch using alert-config-builder jenkins job
• Update the alert-config dependencies to use your new version
• Update alert-config code to make sure it is going to use your new code in alert-config-builder
• Run sbt clean test run in alert-config folder to generate configuration and investigate the result in the target folder
