Too many logs

Description​

This alert fires when too many logs of error level have been created (and collected) in the last minutes.

It looks for the average count of error logs per minute, not the total.

Default configuration​

"tooManyLogs": {
  "active": true,
  "maxErrorLogsPerMin": 10,
  "delayWhenInactive": "PT5M",
  "delayWhenActive": "PT1M"
}

Mail​

Content​

The mail contains an aggregated view of logs found:

  • Total error logs found
  • How many new error logs since last time
  • Description of logs
    • Aggregated by log code
    • Counted
    • With a sample message
    • And telling what services are concerned, and to what extent

With this information, you may do a pre-analysis of the error without even opening Spider monitoring dashboards.
This allows alert dispatching or even discarding.
