serverless-librato-alerts

Serverless plugin for Librato Alerts

Configuration

Alerts can be defined on a global level under the custom section. Definitions can be overwritten per function and function specific alerts can be defined within the function definition.

Template strings

Template strings can contain the following tokens:

Token	Description
$[stackName]	Stack name if defined (provider.stackName). If undefined, defaults to: <service>-<stage>
$[serviceName]	Name of service (service.name)
$[stage]	Name of the stage. Value obtained in this order: --stage CLI option, config.stage, provider.stage, or default to dev
$[functionName]	Name of function
$[functionId]	Logical id of the function. This is the name of the function with - replaced with Dash, _ replaced with Underscore, and Function suffix added
$[alertName]	Name of alert
$[env:<name>]	Access an environment variable value (will not decode SSM parameter store references)

Template strings can contain the following function tokens:

Function Token	Description
$(camelCase <value>)	Converts <value> to camel case
$(kebabCase <value>)	Converts <value> to kebab case
$(lowerFirst <value>)	Converts the first character of <value> to lower case
$(toLower <value>)	Converts <value>, as a whole, to lower case just like String#toLowerCase.
$(upperFirst <value>)	Converts the first character of <value> to upper case
$(toUpper <value>)	Converts <value>, as a whole, to upper case just like String#toUpperCase.
