Google Chat¶

This page documents a legacy sink in Robusta classic

For new setups, we recommend HolmesGPT instead.

HolmesGPT triages your alerts instead of just forwarding them. Sinks are deterministic: they send every notification, unchanged, to a fixed destination, leaving you to read and prioritize each one yourself.

HolmesGPT instead uses AI to investigate each alert, surface the likely root cause, and escalate only what needs attention — so you get fewer, more actionable notifications. Set this up with Alerts Triage for alerts, or Triggered Workflows for custom events.

Robusta can report issues and events in your Kubernetes cluster by sending messages via the Google Chat app.

Prerequisites:¶

Chat webhook URL. Find out more about webhook URLs in the Google documentation, here

Configuring the Google Chat sink in Robusta¶

Add this to your generated_values.yaml

sinksConfig:
- google_chat_sink:
    name: gchat_sink
    webhook_url: https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/spaces/space-id/messages?key=xyz&token=pqr

Then do a Helm Upgrade.
