Loki Alert Generation

Grafana Loki

We ingest syslogs into Loki using Vector, and alerts are defined in Grafana. We want to add monitoring for FPR firewall failover events, but we don’t currently have sample failover logs to build or test the alert expressions.

How do others handle alert creation and validation for events that can’t be easily generated on demand?

I don’t think there is an easy answer for this. If you want to generate an alert based on something you would have to know what that something looks like.

My recommendation is to try and generate said error in your test environment.
