APC UPS Prometheus Alert Rules6 Prometheus alerting rules for APC UPS.Exported via mdlayher/apcupsd_exporter.These rules cover critical and warning conditions — copy and paste the YAML into your Prometheus configuration.
Alert thresholds depend on the nature of your applications. Some queries may have arbitrary tolerance thresholds. Building an efficient monitoring platform takes time. 😉
