3.3 Configuring Alerts

This section describes how to configure alert rules for SCP in both Prometheus and OCI environments. It provides guidance on setting up measurement-based alert rules, where the alerting system evaluates metrics reported by SCP microservices against specified rule conditions to generate alerts as required.

Prometheus Alert Configuration

In a Prometheus environment, SCP alert rules are configured based on metrics reported by SCP components. The alerting workflow monitors these metrics and issues notifications when the defined conditions are met.

For more information about configuring SCP alerts in Prometheus, see the "Alert Configuration" section in Oracle Communications Cloud Native Core, Service Communication Proxy Installation, Upgrade, and Fault Recovery Guide.

OCI Alert Configuration

In OCI environments, SCP alert rules are defined using Metric Query Language (MQL). Configuring these alerts requires creating a dedicated SCP alert file for use with the OCI observability platform.

For more information about configuring SCP alerts in OCI, see the "Configuring SCP Alerts for OCI" section in Oracle Communications Cloud Native Core, Service Communication Proxy Installation, Upgrade, and Fault Recovery Guide.
