How to use

Add the rules you need to rule_files in the Prometheus config:

rule_files:
  - databases/mysql.yml
  - proxy/haproxy.yml

Releases

Rules are frozen into versioned releases. Each release is tagged vX.Y.Z and described in CHANGELOG.md. Pin rules to a tag for reproducibility:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/philyuchkoff/prometheus-alerts/<tag>/databases/mysql.yml

Create a new release manually via GitHub Releases or via git tag vX.Y.Z && git push --tags.

CI

Every PR and push to master runs promtool check rules against all rule files and promtool test rules for unit tests (see .github/workflows/validate.yml).

Tests

Expressions are covered by unit tests (promtool test rules format) in the tests/ directory:

promtool test rules tests/prometheus-test.yml
promtool test rules tests/mysql-test.yml
promtool test rules tests/podman-test.yml

To keep CI green for a new rules file, add a matching tests/<name>-test.yml.
