The awesome-prometheus-alerts repository is a comprehensive collection of over 940 production-ready Prometheus alerting rules covering more than 90 different services and technologies. Maintained by samber with significant contributions tracked by GitGenius showing 64 events from the primary maintainer, the repository serves as a centralized resource for teams implementing monitoring and alerting infrastructure. The collection is accessible through a web interface at samber.github.io/awesome-prometheus-alerts and provides copy-paste ready YAML configurations that can be directly integrated into Kubernetes environments and other deployment scenarios.
The repository's scope spans multiple infrastructure and application domains. Basic resource monitoring rules cover Prometheus self-monitoring, host and hardware metrics, Docker containers, Blackbox probes, Windows servers, VMware, Proxmox VE, and specialized monitoring tools like Netdata and eBPF. Database coverage includes MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle Database, Redis, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, Cassandra, and numerous other data stores. Message broker alerting rules address RabbitMQ, Kafka, Zookeeper, Pulsar, and NATS. The collection extends to proxies and load balancers including Nginx, Apache, HaProxy, Traefik, and service meshes like Istio and Linkerd.
Additional rule categories encompass runtimes for PHP-FPM, JVM, Golang, Ruby, and Python; data engineering platforms including Apache Flink and Spark; orchestrators such as Kubernetes, Nomad, Consul, and Etcd; CI/CD systems like Jenkins, ArgoCD, and GitLab CI; network and security tools including CoreDNS, cert-manager, and Hashicorp Vault; storage solutions like Ceph and Minio; and cloud provider integrations for AWS, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean, and Azure. Observability-focused rules cover Thanos, Loki, Grafana Tempo, Grafana Mimir, and OpenTelemetry Collector.
The repository is built using Astro as its primary language, enabling the static site generation for the web interface. GitGenius activity tracking reveals a median issue and pull request response latency of 8 hours with a mean of 2314.8 hours across 35 tracked items, indicating generally responsive maintenance with occasional longer-term discussions. The most active issue labels tracked include requests to add exporters for new services and invalid submissions. Beyond samber's primary maintenance, contributors sascha-wi and jcpunk have shown activity in the repository's ecosystem.
The project maintains connections with other significant repositories through overlapping contributors, including links to immich-app/immich, rust-lang/rust, and prometheus-community/helm-charts, suggesting integration within broader monitoring and infrastructure communities.
