Alerting

It is possible to add alerting into your InfluxDB processing pipelines using a variety of tools such as:

• PagerDuty
• Vonage APIs
• Twilio
• Pushover

Quix has a built in connector for Twilio, but it is straightforward to built your own connectors, as shown in the resources listed in the next section.

You can write Python code to examine data, detect anomalies, or check thresholds.

The alerting can be placed in the inbound pipeline, where you can detect issues in the real-time streaming data. You could also query data from InfluxDB, and check for certain conditions in the outbound pipeline, generating alerts as required. This is demonstrated in detail in the in-depth tutorial on using Quix, Quix Streams, InfluxDB, and PagerDuty.
