beta.alerta.io

This is the repository for the next major release of the Alerta web console.

Installation

TBC

Configuration

Most configuration will come from the Alerta API server. The minimum, and most common, configuration is simply to tell the web UI where the API server is located.

Environment variables for some settings can be used at build time:

$ export VUE_APP_ALERTA_ENDPOINT=https://alerta-api.example.com
$ npm install
$ npm run build

or place a config.json configuration file in the dist directory:

{
    "endpoint": "https://alerta-api.example.com"
}

Any setting from the API server can be overridden if included in the local config.json file. For a full list of supported settings see the web UI config settings in the online docs.

As a special case, support for setting an OAuth Client ID using a build-time environment variable is possible but should not be be necessary for most deployments.

$ export VUE_APP_CLIENT_ID=0ffe5d26-6c66-4871-a6fa-593d9fa972b1

Deployment

During the beta phase a docker container is available to download and test the new web UI. It can be built locally using the Dockerfile in this repository

$ docker build -t alerta/alerta-beta .

or the container can be downloaded from Docker Hub.

$ docker pull alerta/alerta-beta

To run, create a config.json file and mount the file into the container

$ echo '{"endpoint": "https://alerta-api.example.com"}' > config.json
$ docker run -v "$PWD/config.json:/usr/share/nginx/html/config.json" \
  -it -p 8000:80 --rm --name alerta-beta alerta/alerta-beta

Note: Update the CORS_ORIGINS setting in the Alerta API server config to include the URL that the beta web console is hosted at otherwise the browser will throw "blocked by CORS policy" errors and not work.
