10 years agoAlert clustering based on matching datasource instances across grouped devices
I have a device group that has the same datasource applied. This datasource auto-discovers and will spin up matching instances across all devices in the group. I would like to have clustered alerts based on the matched instances across all devices in the group.
For example, (pardon the ASCII-like visualization)
ClusterGroup
|__ Device1
| |__ DatasourceA
| |_ Instance_ABC
| |_ Datapoint_I
| |_ Datapoint_II
| |_ Instance_DEF
| |_ Datapoint_I
| |_ Datapoint_II
| |_ Instance_GHI
| |_ Datapoint_I
| |_ Datapoint_II
|__ Device2
| |__ DatasourceA
| |_ Instance_ABC
| |_ Datapoint_I
| |_ Datapoint_II
| |_ Instance_DEF
| |_ Datapoint_I
| |_ Datapoint_II
| |_ Instance_GHI
| |_ Datapoint_I
| |_ Datapoint_II
|__ Device3
|__ DatasourceA
|_ Instance_ABC
|_ Datapoint_I
|_ Datapoint_II
|_ Instance_DEF
|_ Datapoint_I
|_ Datapoint_II
|_ Instance_GHI
|_ Datapoint_I
|_ Datapoint_II
If Instance_ABC's Datapoint_I is alerting at the specified cluster threshold in my hypothetical group, I want to generate a cluster alert. If some time afterwards, the situation in my environment gets worse and Instance_GHI's Datapoint_II is alerting at the specified cluster threshold, I want another cluster alert for that instance-datapoint as well.
