# File contains default list of alerts for VM components. # The alerts below are just recommendations and may require some updates # and threshold calibration according to every specific setup. groups: - name: vm-health # note the `job` filter and update accordingly to your setup rules: - alert: TooManyRestarts expr: changes(process_start_time_seconds{job=~"victoriametrics|vmselect|vminsert|vmstorage|vmagent|vmalert"}[15m]) > 2 labels: severity: critical annotations: summary: "{{ $labels.job }} too many restarts (instance {{ $labels.instance }})" description: "Job {{ $labels.job }} (instance {{ $labels.instance }}) has restarted more than twice in the last 15 minutes.
