From 1655d04d7d27bdfad2ffa9f20daa293363412f2a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maximilian Grimm Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 22:14:50 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Episode 16: Kuma alerts sorted by rules, a local agent and a script ops-readonly gets kuma_alerts (host export kuma-export.py, one more read-only mount). kuma-triage.py sorts the same data without a model. Flow H runs the agent with skill alert-triage.md. Flow B: one open incident per monitor, an UP closes all of them, titles name start and end and stay under Outline's limit. B and D accept Kuma only with a header token. Monitoring notes: ntfy rejects Kuma messages for monitors without a URL, resend for long outages. --- agents/skills/alert-triage.md | 41 ++++ automation/README.md | 35 ++- automation/b-incident-responder.json | 209 +++++++++++----- automation/d-ops-triage-agent.json | 9 +- automation/h-kuma-alert-triage.json | 354 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ compose.yml | 2 + monitoring/README.md | 17 ++ ops-readonly/kuma-export.py | 61 +++++ ops-readonly/kuma-triage.py | 28 +++ ops-readonly/reader.py | 16 ++ 10 files changed, 705 insertions(+), 67 deletions(-) create mode 100644 agents/skills/alert-triage.md create mode 100644 automation/h-kuma-alert-triage.json create mode 100644 ops-readonly/kuma-export.py create mode 100644 ops-readonly/kuma-triage.py diff --git a/agents/skills/alert-triage.md b/agents/skills/alert-triage.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e040c99 --- /dev/null +++ b/agents/skills/alert-triage.md @@ -0,0 +1,41 @@ +--- +name: alert-triage +version: 2 +episode: 16 +purpose: Sort one window of Uptime Kuma state into the few alerts a human must see. +--- + +You sort monitoring alerts for a small company server.
