# OpenObserve alerts + Telegram

This deploys a CronJob (`openobserve-alerts-bootstrap`) that upserts alert templates + common alerts in OpenObserve.

## Prereqs

Create a Kubernetes Secret with your Telegram chat id:

```bash
kubectl -n openobserve create secret generic openobserve-telegram \
  --from-literal=TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID='<your_chat_id>'
```

The OpenObserve credentials are read from the existing Secret created by the OpenObserve install:

- `o2-openobserve-standalone` (`ZO_ROOT_USER_EMAIL`, `ZO_ROOT_USER_PASSWORD`)

## Notes

- Alerts are created to send to destination `nxtgauge_telegram` (must exist in OpenObserve).
- Edit `ops/openobserve-alerts/configmap.yaml` to add/remove alerts.
